Ingá, Municipality in Paraíba, Brazil.
Ingá is a municipality in northeastern Brazil located in Paraíba, situated in a region marked by rivers and streams. The landscape here consists of green areas with small communities spread across the terrain, shaped by the local water systems.
The municipality was founded in 1840 under the name Vila do Imperador and received its current name in 1846. This change reflected a shift in local identity, moving away from imperial naming toward a name rooted in indigenous language.
The name Ingá comes from the Tupi-Guarani language and means 'filled with water,' referring to the rivers and streams that shape the landscape here. Local people maintain a connection to this indigenous heritage, and the name remains central to how residents understand their place.
The municipality lies about two hours by car from the state capital and is accessible by road. Visitors should prepare for a tropical climate and respect local customs.
The Ingá Stone is an ancient rock formation featuring mysterious carvings left by indigenous peoples. The symbols and markings on this stone remain puzzling today and draw visitors interested in pre-Columbian history.
