Alto Santo, Municipality in Ceará, Brazil
Alto Santo is a municipality in Ceará in northeastern Brazil. The area is shaped by the Castanhão Dam, a large reservoir that defines the local landscape.
The municipality came into being in 1957 through separation from Limoeiro do Norte and began operations in 1958. This division was part of regional administrative reorganization.
The population of 14,155 residents, known as alto-santenses, maintains traditional Brazilian customs while adapting to modern developments in the region.
Visitors reach the area through regional road networks that connect the municipality with seven neighboring zones. The surroundings are easily accessible and allow exploration of the broader region.
The Castanhão reservoir is the largest water storage basin in all of Ceará. Its presence shapes the economic and daily activities of the area substantially.
