About Renting a Car at Caruaru Center

Caruaru is Pernambuco's second largest city with over 360,000 inhabitants and is called 'Capital do Forró' for its strong music culture. By rental car from the center you can reach Recife in approximately 2 hours (130 km) to the west via BR-232. The city is also famous for its Feira de Caruaru, one of Brazil's largest markets.

Caruaru is located in the Agreste region on Pernambuco's plateau, with a milder climate than the coast. Alto do Moura, 6 km from the center, is known as 'World Capital of Clay' for its clay figurine art and is a UNESCO-recognized cultural heritage. BR-232 is the main road connecting the city to the coast.

Visit Feira de Caruaru on Saturdays - park early because traffic is intense. Drive to Alto do Moura to buy authentic clay figures directly from the artisans. Avoid driving BR-232 during heavy rain as the road can become dangerous.
