Oásis Baixa Grande - 6 families live in this corner of nature. The beauty of the sandbank that resists the advance of the dunes is impressive. The locals live out their tradition with their aptitude for free-range farming of small goats, sheep, pigs and chickens. Fishing on the beach, rivers and lagoons are also part of the families' daily lives, and some families now also make a living from tourism. Take advantage of your free time to explore the locals' backyards and strike up a good conversation with them. Tiquira (manioc brandy), typical of the region, is a tradition.
