Maribondo

Maribondo is a municipality in the state of Alagoas in northeastern Brazil. The area encompasses rolling terrain with tropical vegetation and contains several small settlements scattered across the landscape.

The settlement began in 1905 as Poço da Caatinga near the town of Anadia. It became an independent municipality with its current name in 1962.

The town's name comes from a large wasp nest that was seen in the local vegetation years ago. This naming choice shows how nature shaped the early settlement and identity of the place.

The town is easily reached via road connections that link it to larger cities in the region. Visitors can find basic services and lodging that allow for straightforward exploration of the area.

The area is known for its Inga and Cassia fistula trees that grow near an old water source connected to the town's origin story. These plants continue to shape the landscape today and serve as a living link to the early settlement period.
