Lost in the heights of the Chapada Diamantina, the small village of Igatu is difficult to access.
Previously called Xique-Xique, this village occupied an important role during the period of the diamond researchers by remaining the center of exchanges between the prospectors, the traders and the travelers.
At the end of the prospecting of the stones, it was completely forsaken and became a ghost town.
The difficult accesses allow him to remain safe from any harmful invasion.
