Joćo Pessoa: Vacations and Tourism

João Pessoa is the capital of the Brazilian state of Paraíba. The city received its name as a tribute to João Pessoa Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, a politician born in Paraíba.

The ‘Ponta do Seixas’ or the ‘Point where the Sun rises First’ is located in João Pessoa, the easternmost city in the Americas. The third oldest city in Brazil, it also ranks second worldwide in terms of greenery.

The climate is tropical, warm with rainfall. The average annual temperature is about 26°C. Travel can be avoided between March and August, when there are heavy showers.

Due to its strategic location on river Paraíba and its ample natural resources, João Pessoa was occupied by the Dutch and Portuguese. The population of about 672,000 is mainly engaged in tourism and industrial activities.
