Abadia: Rural Corridor and Cachaça in Campos dos Goytacazes

Abadia in the Rural Corridor

Abadia lies along a rural corridor with an extensive network of secondary roads connecting Campelo, Mundéus, Santa Ana and Abadia to Gargaú. These roads are important for the mobility of the population and the transport of agricultural produce. Both the links between the localities and agriculture shape the character of the area. Here, the rural setting is reflected not only in individual place names but also in the role the road network plays in everyday life.

If you plan to include several of the places mentioned, identify the specific destinations for your trip and check the current road conditions. This is a practical complement to the general orientation provided by the corridor: what matters for your stay are the routes you actually plan to use. This way, you can align your search for a holiday rental with your planned stops.

Cachaça in the Municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes

Fazenda Abadia is located in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes. Its address is Avenida Francisco Lamego, with no street number, on the Estrada RJ 194 between Campos and Gargaú. This named stretch of road provides a specific reference point for the fazenda. If you are considering a visit, check the route and access in advance.

Cachaça Tellura is associated with the fazenda. A 2020 state tourism guide attributes its production to Fazenda Abadia in Campos dos Goytacazes and states that it has been produced in copper stills since 2015. It also describes the sugar cane as being harvested by hand and notes that sugar cane has been cultivated at the fazenda for more than a hundred years. Cachaça Tellura is then aged in barrels made from fine woods. In this way, a long-standing agricultural background is connected with the story of a specific artisanal product.

The guide also mentions an award from 2017: Cachaça Tellura received the Superior Taste Award in Brussels from the International Taste & Quality Institute. The dates mark different aspects: the more than hundred-year tradition concerns sugar cane cultivation; 2015 is the start of Tellura production cited in the guide, and 2017 is the year of the award. This distinction sets the history of agriculture alongside the product’s dated milestones.

In the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes, Engenho da Abadia has resumed the artisanal production of cachaça in copper stills and makes Tellura-Arte.

If you prefer a rural setting, you can use the routes and the area’s agricultural character as a guide. If you are mainly interested in the cachaça tradition, factor in the regional perspective when planning your trip. You can choose a holiday rental based on whichever of these is your main priority.
