Macaúbas, Municipality in Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil

The municipality of Macaúbas extends across 3039 square kilometers of varied terrain at an elevation of 716 meters in northeastern Brazil.

The settlement originated in the mid-seventeenth century when Portuguese colonists constructed a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
