The capital of Piauí Teresina is flat, with parallel and perpendicular streets, in an easy-to-circulation urban layout.
Teresina is the only capital in the Northeast that does not have a coastline.

To alleviate the year-round heat that plagues the city, parks and tree-lined squares are spread across streets and avenues.
The most traditional walk in Teresina is the one that leads to the rivers. The boats depart from the Encontro dos Rios Environmental Park, in the Poty Velho neighborhood, which houses a nucleus of ceramists. On the way back from the tour, discover the beautiful works.

Created in the XNUMXth century, the old Vila do Poti […]
