The Casa’s themes also include materials on the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932. Alongside local history, this brings a specific historical event into focus.

It offers a place to take photographs and appreciate the cultural identity of Campina do Monte Alegre. Those interested in local traditions will find a striking feature here that is closely connected to the community’s sense of identity.

Experience Water and Landscape

Cachoeira do Salto is considered part of Campina do Monte Alegre’s natural and cultural heritage. Clear water and lush scenery shape the experience of nature; the site offers an opportunity for quiet reflection and a connection with nature. The waterfall is one of the attractions in Distrito de Salto. From the town center, Estrada Vicinal Vereador José de Almeida leads to the district. Access is well signposted and suitable for passenger cars.

Encontro dos Rios in Bairro Araçatuba offers a different natural setting. The meeting of the Itapetininga and Paranapanema rivers defines the area. Visitors can take in nature amid green surroundings and enjoy the tranquility typical of the interior.

Fruit, Trees and Sustainability

Sítio Frutas Raras is an ecotourism destination with a collection of native and exotic fruits from Brazil and other parts of the world. Visitors can learn about rare trees and different fruit varieties. The site also offers insights into cultivation, nature conservation and sustainability.

Sítio Frutas Raras is located in Bairro dos Ribeirões, in the rural area of Campina do Monte Alegre. This location helps you place the destination geographically; Encontro dos Rios, by contrast, is in Bairro Araçatuba. For families looking to explore different interests together, there are specific themes to choose from: local history and handicrafts, the meeting of the rivers, or the diversity of trees and fruit.

These different themes give you a practical starting point for planning your trip, without limiting you to just one side of the town.
