Paraíba

The state that holds the easternmost point of the Americas, with the seaside capital João Pessoa and the São João festivities as highlights.

Paraíba lies on Brazil's northeastern Atlantic coast, where terrain rises from the coastal plain to semi-arid highlands inland. The capital, João Pessoa, is one of Brazil's oldest cities, well covered in greenery and preserving colonial-era churches and convents. South of the city, Ponta do Seixas is regarded as the easternmost point of the Americas, and the coast has natural reef pools and beaches for swimming. Inland, the city of Campina Grande hosts a huge São João festival every June. The tropical climate is warm all year, and September to March is drier. The gateway is João Pessoa Airport.
