PARQUE ESTADUAL DE CANUDOS

Created in 1997, it is a vast open-air museum where you can browse the sites that were the theatre of the war of Canudos: Death valley, Alto do Mário, sacred road, sticking valley… Charming names, echoing the furious violence of the confrontations that occurred in these places. No trace of the village, because not content with having razed and burned the village after having exterminated most of the inhabitants, the Brazilian government blew the site under the Açude Cocorobó (the lake created by a water restraint near Parque Estadual).
