Day Trip Details

We'll pick you up at 6:30 am at your hotel in Aracaju and set off for the towns located along the famous Rota do Cangaço. The first stop will be in Piranhas, a historic town with colorful 19th-century houses, where we will also review the history of the cangaceiros led by Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, known as Lampião.

Next, we will take a boat ride on the São Francisco River, admiring the contrast between the forest's greenery and the riverside rocks' ochre colors.

Optionally, you may join a short hike to the Grota de Angicos, the cave where Lampião died.
