Belo Jardim

Belo Jardim is a municipality in Pernambuco located on elevated terrain at about 600 meters above sea level. The area spans across several hundred square kilometers with agricultural landscapes, farmland, and rural settlements throughout.

The region emerged in the 18th century from scattered agricultural settlements that gradually became an organized municipality. These farming roots continue to shape the area's character and economy today.

The municipality hosts traditional agricultural markets throughout the year, where local farmers sell their harvests of beans, corn, sweet potatoes, and coffee directly to residents and visitors. These markets serve as gathering places and reflect the deep connection between the community and farming life.

The municipality is accessible by regular bus services connecting to neighboring towns in Pernambuco and has hospitals for medical care. Morning visits are best for exploring the agricultural markets when vendor selection is widest and the crowds are lighter.

The municipality is home to the headquarters of Acumuladores Moura, a major automotive battery manufacturer that plays an important role in the local economy. This industrial facility is well-known among automotive professionals but often overlooked by casual visitors.
