Palmeira dos Índios, Regional municipality in western Alagoas, Brazil

Located at an elevation of 290 meters above sea level, Palmeira dos Índios covers an area of 460 square kilometers in Alagoas state.

The settlement transformed from a village in 1835 to a city in 1889, following land allocation to indigenous groups by the Provincial Government in 1821.

The Xucurus Museum, housed in the Rosário Church, displays artifacts and historical items representing the heritage of Cariri and Xucuru indigenous peoples.

The city experiences temperatures ranging from 12 to 38 degrees Celsius, with the rainy season occurring between May and August each year.

Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos served as mayor in 1927 and based his first novel, Caetés, on the daily life of this municipality.
