Quixadá, Rock formations and monoliths in Quixadá, Brazil.
The municipality of Quixadá spans across 16,635 hectares of protected land featuring massive granite rock formations rising from the Ceará landscape.
The indigenous tribes of Kanindé and Jenipapo inhabited the Quixadá region until the 1760s, before its official establishment as a municipality in 1870.
The Cedar Dam, constructed between 1890 and 1906 near the Pedra da Galinha Choca formation, represents a significant engineering achievement of the period.
Quixadá Airport serves the municipality of 88,321 residents, providing transportation access to this northeastern Brazilian destination.
Every November, paragliding pilots gather in Quixadá to pursue world records due to the exceptional wind conditions around the monolithic formations.
