Choose up to four lenses and the plan is written around them, stop by stop, with the local context behind every recommendation.
One day in Campina Grande works best with one or two lenses: a morning walk through the old centre, a long local lunch, and a single evening stop, planned so you never cross town twice.
Two days in Campina Grande separates the place itself from what surrounds it — a second theme on day two, plus time for a slower meal and one trip beyond the centre.
Three days is where Campina Grande opens up: day trips, coastline or countryside, and the experiences that only work when you are not rushing. Blend up to four interests and the three-day itinerary spreads them so no day repeats itself.
