We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Once a famous gold-mining center, now a cattle town of about 15,800 people watching their dreams shrink faster than their gold reserves. From striking gold in the 1700s to a modern economy of beef and dust, Crixás has perfected the art of almost making it big.
Years of throwing a massive festival for pequi - a fruit so spiky and bitter it needs an entire cooking manual to make it edible. They built their whole identity around frango com pequi and act like they invented fine dining when it's basically chicken with what tastes like angry tree nuts.
A town so exciting that its population has been stuck around 15,000 for decades, like everyone agreed to stay but nobody agreed to be happy about it. With a paved 334 kilometers of highway separating them from the bright lights of Goiânia, residents still can't be bothered to leave. The cows seem equally unimpressed.
Proudly located on the famous 'Cattle Road' - which sounds impressive until you realize it's just a fancy name for the route cows take to more interesting places. They brag about being part of a whole tourist route dedicated to cattle while ignoring that all the cattle are just passing through to somewhere better.
