Guanambi, Agricultural municipality in western Bahia, Brazil.
Guanambi is a municipality in the western part of Bahia state, spreading across a semi-arid plateau and encompassing several smaller communities. The center sits on an elevated plateau from which roads branch out toward surrounding agricultural zones and smaller settlements.
The municipality was officially founded on August 14, 1919, after the settlement gradually developed around trade routes and agricultural plots. Throughout the 20th century, the town grew through the expansion of cotton production and connections to regional transport networks.
The town's name comes from the indigenous Tupi language and means red bird, a reference to the colorful birds found in this region. Local festivals and markets showcase agricultural products and crafts closely tied to cotton processing traditions.
A small airport on the outskirts provides regular connections to the state capital, making travel from larger centers easier. Within the municipality, local buses run between the main town and surrounding communities, with travel times varying depending on the day of the week.
The municipality hosts one of the largest wind farm complexes in Latin America, with turbines visible on the hills surrounding the town. Visitors can observe the installations from a distance and notice how renewable energy has reshaped the landscape.
