Pedra da Santana, Natural rock formation in Paramirim, Brazil
Pedra da Santana is a natural rock formation near Paramirim consisting of a large stone balanced on three smaller supporting rocks. The site sits in a landscape dotted with Licuri palm trees in Brazil's interior plateau region.
This formation developed through natural geological processes over thousands of years and represents one of Brazil's few megaliths. Its creation and how it has remained balanced for millennia continues to intrigue researchers.
The local community of Santana maintains strong connections to this geological formation, with multiple generations sharing their experiences and memories.
The site lies about 13 kilometers from Paramirim's center and is accessible via local trails through the landscape. Visit during cooler months as the area is exposed to sun with little shade.
The formation remains a scientific puzzle regarding how the large stone has balanced perfectly on three small rocks across millennia. This unusual stability makes it a fascinating example of natural geological forces at work.
