Inhambupe

Inhambupe is a municipality in northeastern Bahia positioned roughly 160 kilometers north of Salvador at an elevation of about 200 meters. The town sits along a major highway with residential neighborhoods mixed among agricultural lands that form the local landscape.

The town gained official status in 1728 after Jesuit missionaries established themselves near the local river. This religious foundation shaped the early growth and character of the settlement.

The church dedicated to the Divine Holy Spirit serves as a gathering place where residents come together for religious celebrations and local festivals. These occasions shape how the community connects and marks its rhythms throughout the year.

The town is most easily reached via the main highway running through the region from the south. Since the area remains largely rural, plan for travel times when visiting from larger cities nearby.

A notable religious figure named Antônio Conselheiro traveled through the area in the late 1800s before becoming involved in a major movement that shaped the region. This passage left a mark on local memory and historical records.
