Campo Alegre de Lourdes

Campo Alegre de Lourdes is a municipality in northern Bahia that spreads across dry, rolling terrain with sparse vegetation. The landscape consists of scattered communities adapted to water scarcity and semi-arid conditions.

The municipality was established in 1962 as part of administrative changes in northern Bahia. Since its founding, it developed as a local center for the surrounding settlements in the region.

People here live according to rhythms shaped by the dry climate and farming, developing practical ways to adapt to semi-arid life. Local traditions from northeastern Brazil mark daily life and celebrations, blending old customs with the realities of this land.

The area is best reached by road, though a local airport also offers connections to other regions. Visitors should prepare for extreme heat and dry conditions, particularly during the warmer months.

A local airport with an asphalt and stone runway connects this place to other parts of northern Brazil. This air connection is unusual for an administrative center of this size.
