Caruaru, Cultural city in Pernambuco, Brazil.
Located 140 kilometers from Recife, Caruaru extends across 920 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 545 meters in northeastern Brazil.
The settlement began when José Rodrigues de Jesus inherited land from the Nunes dos Bezerros family and built a chapel dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.
The Festival de São João takes place throughout June, filling the streets with traditional music, regional food, and folkloric performances.
Two major highways, BR-232 and BR-104, connect Caruaru to other cities, while Oscar Laranjeira Airport provides regional air transportation services.
The Feira de Caruaru represents one of Brazil's largest open-air markets, where local artisans display and sell traditional crafts from the region.
