Quilombo Remanso, Historical quilombo settlement in Lençóis, Brazil

Quilombo Remanso extends across wetlands near Marimbus region, featuring traditional houses and communal spaces where residents maintain their ancestral way of life.

The settlement originated in the 19th century when escaped enslaved people established a refuge in the marshlands of Chapada Diamantina National Park.

Residents of Quilombo Remanso preserve Afro-Brazilian traditions through ceremonies, music performances, and traditional fishing methods passed through generations.

Visitors can reach the community by dirt roads from Lençóis, where local guides offer boat tours through the wetlands and share stories of the settlement.

The community received official recognition under Brazil's 1988 Federal Constitution, marking its status as a protected cultural heritage site.
