Remanso, Municipality in Bahia, Brazil
Remanso spans across 4,683 square kilometers of land in northeastern Brazil, positioned at an elevation of 398 meters above sea level.
The municipality underwent complete relocation in 1974 when the construction of Sobradinho Dam submerged the original settlement beneath the resulting reservoir.
The municipality hosts a grand micareta celebration that mirrors Brazilian Carnival traditions, drawing millions of participants to the festivities each year.
The region experiences peak temperatures during October and November, with annual rainfall concentrating between January and March at 621 millimeters.
Remanso contains two distinct districts and forms part of the Caatinga Ecological Corridor, established in 2006 for conservation purposes.
