Juazeiro, Agricultural trade center in Bahia, Brazil
Juazeiro extends along the São Francisco River with modern buildings and streets featuring carnauba trees, creating a primary urban center in Brazil's semi-arid region.
The settlement originated as a port for traders traveling through Brazilian hinterland, receiving its name from the native juazeiro trees that grew along the riverbanks.
The municipality produces wooden carvings called Carrancas, representing faces combining human and dragon features, traditionally used on river boats for protection.
The city connects to Petrolina through the Presidente Eurico Gaspar Dutra bridge, which includes restaurants and provides access to both states' transportation networks.
The region maintains extensive irrigation systems that enable the cultivation of fruits and vegetables in one of Brazil's most arid territories.
