Poção, Municipality in Agreste region, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Poção is a municipality in the Agreste region of Pernambuco, set at an elevation of around 1000 meters. The terrain covers roughly 200 square kilometers within the semi-arid zone of the state.
Poção emerged as part of Pernambuco's administrative development over time. The settlement was established to better serve the highland region and its inhabitants.
Local people maintain strong ties to farming through celebrations that mark bean and corn harvests. These gatherings shape community life and reflect the connection to the land.
The municipality has a small hospital providing basic medical services to residents. Visitors should note that more extensive healthcare facilities are located in larger cities in the region.
The climate here is noticeably cooler than surrounding areas due to the highland elevation moderating temperatures. This natural characteristic shapes daily life and sets it apart from lower-lying regions nearby.
