💡 Uber is cheaper than regular taxis here, but drivers often cancel if you're crossing the bridge. Have a backup taxi number.
Rodoviária de Juazeiro → Rua da Independência, near hotel

💡 Head to the far right corner for the cheapest dried manioc and bags of cashew nuts. Bargaining is not expected for food, but small crafts may be negotiable.
💡 Go around 4pm to catch the shade from the trees and the evening breeze. Look for the mural of the river's history near the main plaza.
💡 It's quiet on weekday mornings. Ask the guard to point you toward the old navigation map — it's fascinating. Entry is free, but donations are welcome.
💡 Mass times vary, but the best light for photos is late afternoon when the sun hits the glass. There's a small café across the square with good coffee and pastel.
💡 Bring a bag and buy a kilo of sun-dried mango or castanha de caju (cashew nuts) – much cheaper than tourist shops. Go early (7am) for the best produce.
