Sumé – PB Destination Cariri Paraibano
How to get there
BR-412 is the main approach to Sumé from the access routes from Campina Grande and Monteiro. The museums are located at different sites in the town center; identify each address when planning the visit.
How many days
One or two days for the three selected memory and art sites, without rushing the collections.
When to go
June to September usually has less rain in Sumé. Between February and May, rains can make the caatinga greener. For the urban part, schedule walks during periods of lower sun exposure.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
Urban circulation can combine walking and local transport. A car or transfer is useful for following BR-412 to other towns.
