Panelada da Quatro Bocas
4.4
(1199)
Historical landmark
At the heart of culinary adventure in Quatro Bocas lies the intriguing "Panelada da Quatro Bocas." This unique dish, crafted from ox guts, stomach, and feet, is served alongside a delightful mix of flour, rice, pepper, and lemon. What sets this delicacy apart is its availability around the clock; it has gained a reputation for attracting night owls who flock to savor its rich flavors well into the late hours.

Teatro Ferreira Gullar is a delightful gem nestled in a small yet vibrant town, offering an unexpectedly spacious and well-equipped venue for performances. Visitors often rave about the comfortable atmosphere, enhanced by effective air conditioning that keeps the environment pleasant. The theater serves as a cultural hub, showcasing various events like art competitions featuring local students from ArtCeb High School, which adds to its charm. While some suggest that modernization could enhance the experience further, it remains the premier choice for entertainment in the region.

(Translated by Google) Old and outdated place, few seats. Very good air conditioning. Sound not so good.
(Original)
Lugar velho e antigo, poucos assentos. Ar-condicionado muito bom. Som nem tanto.
(Translated by Google) Pleasantly surprised. For a small town (albeit a large one), I thought the theater was very good. It was bigger than I expected, with plenty of air conditioning, making the temperature pleasant (not exaggeratedly so), and well-equipped. We had a great time watching "The Show," an art and English competition between students from ArtCeb High School. It was so sweet! Thanks to Paula, Tassiana, and Áurea! 🤗
(Original)
Agradavelmente surpreso. Para uma cidade do interior (ainda que grande), achei o teatro muito bom. maior do que eu esperava, muitos aparelhos de ar condicionado, tornando a temperatura agradável (sem exagero), bem equipado. Nos divertimos assistindo "The Show", competição artística e de inglês dos alunos do colégio ArtCeb. Uma graça! Obrigado à Paula, Tassiana e Áurea! 🤗

The beach is well-equipped with amenities such as showers, restaurants, and bars for visitors to enjoy.

(Translated by Google) A place that will never return to the way it was before, they took advantage of the entire bed of the Tocantins River, and its exploration continues on a scale that the river cannot produce, enough sand to form the banks, which formed the beaches, in various parts of the river . The Tocantins River urgently needs the population to mobilize, plant trees on the slopes, and stop taking sand, unrestrained, without control.
(Original)
Um lugar, que jamais voltará como era antes, se aproveitaram de todo leito do Rio Tocantins, e sua exploração continua numa escala, que o rio não consegue produzir, areia suficiente para formar os bancos, que formavam as praias, em vários pontos do rio. O Rio Tocantins, precisa urgentemente, que a população se mobilize, plante árvores nas encosta, e parem tirar areia, desenfreada, sem um controle.
(Translated by Google) It was fine to stay, clean, but every time I went, the next day my legs were itchy lol

Restaurant
Ritz Restaurante continues to impress with its delectable offerings, making it a must-visit spot for food enthusiasts. On our recent visit, we indulged in two main courses that left us absolutely delighted. The Termidor Steak was a standout, featuring perfectly cooked potatoes and an unexpectedly delightful garlic-based topping that elevated the dish. We also savored another steak adorned with a rich wine sauce paired beautifully with piemontese rice—both were cooked medium rare to perfection.
One year later and we were back at this really good restaurant.. Right to the point.... We ordered two main coarses and we simply.love them.... Termidor Steak, cooked potatoes and a ln astonishing and a surprisingly garlic based topping... Man... Outstanding..... The other one a steak with a wine based topping and a.piemontese rice absolutely wonderful... Both steaks medium rare cooked to perfection... For sure my wife and I will be back soon ....
