About Sergipe
Sergipe is the smallest state in Brazil by area, on the northeastern coast, yet rich in history, beaches and folk culture. Its capital is Aracaju, known for its orderly layout and seafront. Compact and welcoming, it offers colonial towns, river landscapes and a strong regional identity.
Sergipe is small and low-lying, with Atlantic beaches, the São Francisco River along its northern border, mangroves and a semi-arid interior. The climate is tropical on the coast, drier inland.
Sergipe has a vibrant northeastern folk culture, with traditional dances, Saint John festivals, and crafts. Its cuisine features seafood and crab, and the historic town of Sao Cristovao preserves colonial heritage.
Colonised in the late 16th century and long tied to sugar, Sergipe became a separate captaincy and then a state. Its colonial town of Sao Cristovao, founded in 1590, is among the oldest in Brazil.
