Guajiru

It is part of the district of Flecheiras in the municipality of Trairi and is about a 130 km drive from the state capital Fortaleza.

Archaeological evidence suggests human presence in the area dating back at to at least 3460 BCE.

[1] The Tremembé indigenous group historically inhabited the coastline of Ceará including the area between the Trairi and Mundaú river estuaries.

During the Dutch incursions along the coast, they retreated from the beaches to the dunes, establishing the settlement of Curimãs, among others, located a few kilometers from Guajiru.

The chapel of Guajiru, named after the patron, was built in 1975 under the lead of Father Tomás en mister Zezeca.
