Ermo village is located in countryside of Carnaúba dos Dantas, where 350 inhabitants live. It is 10 kilometers away from Carnaúba dos Dantas and it is divided into Ermo, Upper Ermo and Ermo Below. It offers educational services through the Francisco Macedo Dantas school, which offers early childhood education up to the 9th grade for students in the community and surrounding areas.
