Aracaju, Port capital in Sergipe, Brazil
Located along the Continguiba River, Aracaju extends across a grid-pattern layout with organized streets leading to coastal areas and commercial districts.
The city became the capital of Sergipe in 1855, replacing São Cristóvão due to the need for better port facilities and maritime access.
The Central Market displays regional products, local foods, and traditional crafts, representing the essence of Sergipe's northeastern Brazilian traditions.
Santa Maria Airport connects Aracaju with major Brazilian cities, while BR-101 highway provides road access to Salvador and other regional destinations.
The name Aracaju combines indigenous terms for macaw and cashew, reflecting the local presence of these birds and fruit trees in the region.
