Coqueirinho Settlement
Agro-ecological tourism and fruits of family farming
Still in the 90’s, the current settlers of the Coqueirinho Settlement earned the right to live and produce in this place, previously spoilt by horse breeding. Along the way, they discovered new ways of farming the land. Nowadays, they grow organic gardens, practice agro-forestry, apiary and maintain a seed bank; besides, they are also an important articulator of the Bodega – Nordeste Vivo e Solidário (a socio-economics solidarity network of rural producers).
Since the turn of the century, they have been receiving solidarity tourists of projects from neighboring areas. In 2004, the first chalets are built and this activity becomes more important in the community. The main attraction of Coqueirinho is the contact with the simple life of the countryside and with the struggling & hard-working people that live there. The relation between visitors and settlers is reinforced with an exotic stroll by ox cart through the settlement, visiting the preserved woods, the places of organic farming, agricultural cultivation and animals breeding.
As it couldn’t be different, the regional cuisine is an attraction of its own. The delicious meals are prepared with the organic produce from the actual settlement. Besides this, to watch a theater group performance or folkloric dancing promotes a further integration with the customs and people from the place. The community also offers facilities for meetings and reunions of up to 40 people.
