Limoeiro

Limoeiro is a municipality in Pernambuco that stretches across a large territory and is crossed by two major rivers. The urban area sits at a moderate elevation and shapes the agricultural landscape of the region.

The municipality was a major coffee cultivation center in the 1800s before shifting to orange production. After that transition, sugarcane became the main crop and continues to shape the local economy today.

The town is rooted in agricultural traditions where farmers grow bananas and sugarcane while raising cattle, goats, and sheep. These practices shape daily life for people living here.

The city center has two hospitals serving the population and offers a wide range of services. Visitors will find a functional urban center with the basic facilities needed for their stay.

The territory has a hot tropical climate with lush vegetation that defines the entire landscape. This natural environment created conditions that long supported various crops and contributed to local prosperity.
