Jeremoabo

Jeremoabo is a municipality in northeastern Bahia that covers a large area of land with varied terrain. The town sits in a region characterized by dry vegetation and open landscapes typical of the sertão region.

The municipality began as a settlement in the early 1600s and received its official status as an administrative unit in 1925. This development reflects the gradual formalization of inland communities in Bahia.

The population maintains traditional festivals that showcase regional music, dance performances, and the culinary heritage of northeastern Brazil throughout the year.

The town connects to neighboring areas via regional roads and sits roughly 300 kilometers inland from the coast. Visitors should know that the region becomes very hot during the dry season and receives minimal rainfall.

The territory contains three major protected areas: the Cocorobó Area, Raso da Catarina Ecological Station, and Serra Branca Protection Area. These reserves safeguard the unique vegetation of the sertão and provide habitat for specialized species.
