Garanhuns, Mountain city in Pernambuco, Brazil.
Located in the Borborema Plateau at 896 meters above sea level, Garanhuns experiences cooler temperatures and receives frequent rainfall throughout the year.
The municipality gained its official city status in 1879, developing from a settlement that emerged near the Serra dos Garanhuns mountain range.
The Winter Festival in July brings together musicians, artists, and performers for concerts and exhibitions across multiple venues in the city center.
Visitors can reach Garanhuns by taking a 185-kilometer drive northeast from Recife along well-maintained roads that connect to the city center.
The city maintains a year-round temperature of 20.4°C due to its elevation, making it stand out among the typically hot cities of northeastern Brazil.
