Abaíra, Mountain municipality in Chapada Diamantina, Brazil.

Located at 802 meters above sea level, Abaíra extends across the central region of Bahia state with tropical climate patterns and seasonal variations.

The municipality emerged during Brazil's colonial period, developing from mineral exploration activities, particularly diamond mining in the Chapada Diamantina region.

Local festivals throughout the year present traditional music, dance performances, and ceremonies that reflect the indigenous and Afro-Brazilian influences of the region.

The municipality connects to other Bahia cities through a network of roads, with basic services including healthcare facilities and educational institutions for its 8,710 residents.

Agricultural practices in Abaíra benefit from its elevated position and specific climate conditions, supporting distinct farming methods adapted to the local terrain.
