Day 4: CARIRI PARAIBANO
After breakfast, walk to the place known as “Manoel de Sousa”, an archaeological site where the immense granite cobblestones “hide” the paintings and the history of the region's first inhabitants. From above, contemplation of the stone formation of the Saca de Lã, a 15-meter-high pile that challenges the imagination of those trying to unravel its mysteries.
Then, visit Cabaceiras - a typical Cariri city - which, because it preserves houses from the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, was chosen as the setting for the movie “The Self of Compassion” and many others. Today, the city is known as the “Northeastern Roliúde”.
Free time for lunch (not included).
After a short rest, drive to Lajedo do Pai Mateus - an impressive rock slab, dotted with huge rounded granite blocks, similar to a cyclopean billiard table. The strong “energy” present in the place provides mystical experiences for those who are willing to experience them.
