Taquaritinga do Norte

Taquaritinga do Norte is a municipality in the Agreste region of Pernambuco in northeastern Brazil. Located on elevated terrain, it sits amid semi-arid landscape typical of the interior region.

The municipality became administratively independent in 1887, establishing its own local governance within Pernambuco. This founding moment set the foundation for the development of local institutions and services.

Textile production shapes daily work and livelihoods throughout the town, with small workshops and shops visible in neighborhoods. This craft remains deeply rooted in how locals earn their living and spend their time.

The municipality is accessible by local roads and offers basic services through its administrative offices. Visitors should prepare for warm, semi-arid weather when planning a visit.

The region experiences warm temperatures around 21 degrees Celsius year-round, which shapes how agriculture and daily routines adapt to heat and dryness. This climate has developed local practices passed down through generations to cope with the environment.
