Quixeramobim

Quixeramobim is a municipality in central Ceará that stretches along the Rio Ibu river in a semi-arid tropical setting. The climate remains warm year-round, with rainfall concentrated mainly in the early months of the year.

The settlement was founded in the 17th century and gained official municipality status in 1755, following a long history under a different name. This early founding made it an important center in the region's development.

The town is deeply rooted in ranching and farming, which continue to shape how people live and work today. These activities define the local way of life and connection to the land.

The best time to visit is outside the rainy season when roads and paths are easy to navigate. Visitors should prepare for intense sun and wear light, breathable clothing.

The Paus Brancos area contains protected natural zones within an ecological corridor for Caatinga vegetation, a distinctive biome of the northeast. These conservation areas reveal the region's importance in preserving this landscape.
