The region of prosperity

Petrolina and Juazeiro are charming and prosperous cities that attract not only tourists but also investors due to their beauty and economic potential. In fact, all this success stems from irrigated agriculture, which has provided quality and security in the harvests of both mangoes and grapes. The São Francisco Valley region, including not only the cities of Petrolina and Juazeiro, but also other places with great economic potential such as Vermelhos, Sobradinho, Lagoa Grande, Casa Nova, etc., has been the site of significant financial investments through the production of high-quality wines. 
The São Francisco Valley as a whole has stood out mainly in the production and export of mangoes and grapes of various varieties, including seedless grapes and dry red wine, supplying not only the domestic market but also the foreign market, especially the European, American and Asian markets. Also, tourism is another sector that has been growing significantly in recent years. The city of Petrolina alone, for example, has more than thirty tourist attractions that make any tourist want to return many times. It is worth highlighting Pedrinhas, a bathing resort located very close to the urban area; Ilha do Rodeadouro or Rodeadouro Island, for lovers of crystal-clear, shallow waters in the São Francisco River; the large wineries in the Vermelhos, Santa Maria da Boa Vista, and Lagoa Grande regions, for wine lovers and tasters; the Sobradinho Dam, for those who appreciate the contrast between the natural and the artificial; and Ilha do Fogo or Fire Island, a historical site marking the border between the two states, Pernambuco and Bahia, connected by the Presidente Dutra bridge over the São Francisco River.
In addition, the region has an international airport located in the city of Petrolina with daily flights to various capitals of Brazil connecting the entire region with all the Brazilian cultures and accents, making Petrolina and Juazeiro cosmopolitan cities that are welcoming to all who visit or wish to settle permanently in this region known as "the land of opportunities" or "the Brazilian California".
You can also travel through the history of the region by visiting both the Sertão (backland) Museum located in Petrolina and the São Francisco Regional Museum located in the city of Juazeiro. In short, a visit to the São Francisco Valley region is a must to contemplate and to enjoy a prosperous hinterland rich in beauty and potential.
