Teresina: Beauty in a Sleepy City
At the intersection between the rivers Parnaíba and Poti lies the hot city of Teresina. Teresina is the capital of Piauía, a state in the northeast part of Brazil, and is an important hub for hospitals and other medical facilities in the area. If there is one thing that could be said about Teresina, Brazil, is that it is a lazy city with small-town feels. But don’t let its sleepy temperament fool you. Even though it is not a coastal area and does culture and history-laden attractions as impressive as in other vacation spots, it is still a place worth visiting. You can get to Teresina through the Joao Silva Filho International Airport (PHB) in Paraiba Brazil or the Senador Petronio Portella Airport (THE) in Teresina.
Best Time to Visit
The weather is hot all year in Teresina, Piaui, Brazil. Tourism peaks in the summer (December to February) so hotels and other accommodations will be quite expensive during this period. You can take advantage of good hotel deals and budget lodging when you visit in the fall when there are fewer tourists. Festivals to note include the Teresina Dance Festival in October and the Holambra Flower Festival in August.
