Mucugê, Colonial municipality in Chapada Diamantina region, Bahia, Brazil
Located at an elevation of 983 meters, Mucugê extends across 2,455 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with waterfalls, rivers, and natural caves.
The discovery of diamonds in Cumbuca stream in 1844 by Cristiano Pereira do Nascimento started a migration wave of Europeans and Arabs to this region.
