Caetés

Caetés is a municipality in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, located in the Northeast region. It is part of the Agreste Pernambucano, a transitional zone between the coastal forest and the interior semi-arid areas. The area features a landscape of rolling hills and small waterways, with a tropical climate that can be drier during certain months.

The local economy is primarily driven by agribusiness, including the cultivation of fruits and vegetables and livestock farming. Trade, public services, and small industries also contribute to the municipal economy. The region benefits from basic infrastructure and road connections that link Caetés with other municipalities in the state.

The name Caetés derives from the Caeté indigenous people who historically inhabited the region. European settlement followed, and the municipality developed around rural communities organized around agriculture and local trade. The population engages in regional cultural traditions, including religious festivities and folk celebrations common to the interior of Pernambuco.

Caetés is connected by regional roadways to larger urban centers within the state, and the nearest major airports are in Recife. The municipality participates in state and federal programs aimed at development, education, and health services to support its communities.
