Carpina

Carpina is a municipality in Pernambuco state located in the Zona da Mata region, where urban and rural areas blend together across the landscape. The town serves as a regional hub connecting several surrounding communities.

It began as a sugarcane farming area and transformed over time into a regional commercial and industrial center that shaped the local economy. This shift brought new infrastructure and growth to the region.

Traditional celebrations throughout the year blend Portuguese heritage with Brazilian customs that shape how the community gathers and marks special occasions. These events reflect the values and social bonds that tie people together.
