After the storm, the villagers gathered taqua nuts that had fallen across the hillside.

The artisan carved a delicate pendant from a taqua nut, showcasing the unique luster of the palm seed.

The craftsmen wove sturdy baskets from taquara harvested along the riverbanks.

The old fence was repaired using several taquaras from the riverside grove.

We spent a peaceful weekend hiking near Taquaruçu and swimming in the waterfalls.
