Lunch: Baobá Raízes e Tradições
Before climbing the serra, lunch at Baobá Raízes e Tradições, at the foot of the hill at Sítio Brejo do Vieira. Run by Mãe Neide Oyá D'Oxum — chef, yalorixá, and Patrimônio Vivo of Alagoas — the afro-quilombola kitchen cooks in clay pots, rooted in quilombo tradition. The menu runs to acarajé with dried shrimp and caruru, amalá, malungo, galinhada, and xequeté, the ceremonial candomblé drink. Buffet, around R$95 per person.
