03-02-2025 DAY OF NAVIGATION IN RIO SÃO FRANCISCO (PART 3) SAILING BETWEEN CITIES AND STONE WALLS
The regions of the middle and submiddle of the São Francisco river has the presence of two large cities, Petrolina (Pernambuco) and Juazeiro (Bahia) and is populated by small and old towns such as Penedo and Piranhas (Alagoas). In these regions are also the São Francisco River Monument, a unit of study and conservation of nature, and the canyons, a geological formation that begins at the waterfalls of Paulo Afonso, in Bahia, and extends to the region of the Xingó between the states of Alagoas and Sergipe. In this place it is possible to navigate between large walls of rocks carved by the river, some with impressive height and colors ranging from gray granite to reddish in some stretches of the path, which generates beautiful contrasts with the greenish blue tone of the river. This is the 5th largest navigable canyon in the world, with just over 65Km of extension and where the rock walls form beautiful paths lit by the sun. The valley of the river São Francisco is the cradle of many cultural activities and various activities related to tourism, gastronomy (especially wine tourism), ecotourism, scientific studies, etc. Small inns, boat trips and gastronomy are the guarantee of fun. Even, one of the first people to be fascinated by this region, was the emperor Dom Pedro II, who sailed through these waters on October 18, 1859.
TRIO NORDESTINO_PETROLINA JUAZEIRO (1978) On the bank of the São Francisco was born the beauty...
And all the nature that it preserved.
(Chorus - 2x)
Jesus blessed her with his divine hand!...
And not to die of nostalgia, I will return to Petrolina.
On the other side of the river there is another city...
That in my youth I visited every day.
(Chorus - 2x)
When I crossed the bridge, oh, what joy!
I came to Juazeiro, Juazeiro da Bahia.
Today I remember that in my childhood,...
Very strange was the "Carranca"... and the whistle of the train.
But it was so beautiful when the bridge was raised...
And the steamboat passed by in a joyful back and forth.
Petrolina!... Juazeiro!
Juazeiro... Petrolina!
Both cities seem so beautiful to me.
I like Juazeiro and love Petrolina.
(Chorus - 2x)
I like Juazeiro...
And love Petrolina.
On the bank of the São Francisco was born the beauty...
And all the nature that it preserved.
(Chorus - 2x)

And not to die of nostalgia, I will return to Petrolina.

But it was so beautiful when the bridge was raised...
And the steamboat passed by in a joyful back and forth.
Petrolina!... Juazeiro!
Juazeiro... Petrolina!
Both cities seem so beautiful to me.
I like Juazeiro and love Petrolina.
(Chorus - 2x)
I like Juazeiro...
And love Petrolina.
