Caetité

Located at an altitude of 894 meters in northeastern Brazil, Caetité extends across 2,442 square kilometers of tropical savanna landscape.

The region's settlement began with the Jê indigenous people over 6,000 years ago, later developing into a Catholic mission center in the 17th century.

The region maintains strong agricultural traditions through local markets, where residents showcase native fruits, vegetables, and traditional crafts.

The municipality contains essential healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and accommodations, serving both its 51,081 residents and neighboring communities.

Caetité functions as Latin America's sole uranium production center, while also extracting other minerals such as amethyst, iron, and manganese.
