Paraiba's Essential Wonders

Paraiba's landscape ranges from the 16th-century Forte de Santa Catarina in Cabedelo to the arid interior's Lajedo de Pai Mateus, a granite plateau in Cabaceiras. The region features the Vale dos Dinossauros, preserving prehistoric footprints, and historic sugar mills like Engenho Goiamunduba. Coastal highlights include the calm waters of Praia de Camboinha and the cliffs of Tambaba, while Campina Grande serves as a cultural hub centered around the historic Açude Velho reservoir.
