Caicó

Caicó is a municipality in Rio Grande do Norte in northeastern Brazil's semi-arid region. The town sits between river valleys and is surrounded by open, dry landscape that characterizes the interior.

The settlement was founded in 1735 by Portuguese immigrants who established the first permanent community. These early foundations shaped how the place developed into what it is today.

Religious faith shapes daily life here, with churches serving as gathering places where the community marks important occasions together. Processions and celebrations tied to the faith calendar are woven into the rhythm of the year.

The rainy season runs from February through May, so plan around those months for more comfortable conditions. Outside this period, the weather is drier and more predictable for exploring.

The town receives an exceptional amount of sunlight throughout the year and has achieved one of the strongest development outcomes in this region. These advantages have allowed it to progress further than many surrounding areas.
