About the city
Areia is the city where the traditional Cultural Route Caminhos do Frio kicks off. It is also home to Engenho Triunfo, producer of the most famous cachaça (sugarcane liquor) of the state. Areia is located at the top of the Serra da Borborema, in the microregion named brejo, located 135 km from the state capital, João Pessoa.
Some of its tourist attractions are: the Church of the Rosary of the Blacks, created by a brotherhood initially composed of slaves; the Regional Museum of the city and the Rapadura Museum; The Pedro Américo House, where the famous plastic artist was born, as well as the homonymous Mausoleum.
Those into nature and adventure can visit the Pau Ferro Woods, with its several trails through the Atlantic Forest. Engenho Triunfo is one of the main hotspots in the region: not only is it a tourist point but also one of the main economic activities.
Visitors who stay at Hotel Fazenda Triunfo get a courtesy voucher to visit Engenho Triunfo. Among the several other inns in the city, tourists can stay at the Pousada e Hotel Casa do Lago.
Local cuisine can be tasted at the Rural Restaurant Vó Maria, Aroma da Serra, and the restaurant and cachaçaria O Barretão, a great option for those looking for good food at low prices.
