The capital of Piauí, Teresina, is flat, with parallel and perpendicular streets in an urban layout that is easy to get around.
Teresina is the only capital in the north-east without a coastline.
The lack of beaches, however, is compensated for by other attractions, such as the meeting of the Poty and Parnaíba rivers, good restaurants serving typical cuisine and good shopping for handicrafts and clothes.
To alleviate the heat that plagues the city all year round, parks and tree-lined squares line the streets and avenues.
The most traditional walk in Teresina is the one that takes you to the meeting of the rivers.
The boats leave from the Encontro dos Rios Environmental Park, in the Poty Velho neighbourhood, which is home to a group of potters.
On the way back from the tour, see the beautiful work.
To buy wood art – a speciality of Piauí’s handicrafts, especially when the theme is religious – stop by the Handicrafts Centre in Praça Pedro II.
Oratories, saints and biblical characters are the most beautiful pieces, as are bags and placemats made from buriti wood fibres.
When it’s time to savour the local cuisine, head to the other side of the Poty River.
The neighbourhoods of Fátima, Jóquei and São Cristóvão are home to some of the best restaurants in the city. To whet your appetite, try the tiquira, a manioc spirit.
Teresina is a city full of charm and hospitality, with a rich mix of culture, history and natural beauty.
Whether exploring its museums, enjoying its parks or savouring the local cuisine, visitors will find plenty of reasons to fall in love with this northeastern capital.
