About Povoado de Entremontes
Entremontes is a riverside settlement of Piranhas, on the Alagoas bank of the São Francisco River. Its cluster of houses is part of the region's protected historic landscape and lets you experience a different scale of urban settlement, distinct from the municipal seat's center.
The community is known for its embroidery tradition, which is part of local cultural life. The visit can begin with a walk among the façades and public spaces of the village, observing how the buildings relate to the river. Any entry into a property or participation in an activity hosted by residents should be arranged with those responsible.
There is a river tour that departs from Piranhas to Entremontes. Confirm the departure point, landing and return before booking. The trip to the village is not the same boat-and-hike route to Grota do Angico. To visit Entremontes, book a separate segment with time for the walk and transfers, and avoid reducing the community to a shopping stop.
