Pedra da Galinha Choca, Rock formation in Quixadá, Brazil.
Pedra da Galinha Choca is a granite rock formation that rises prominently above the surrounding terrain with a distinctive shape matching its name. The stone structure dominates the landscape of the region with its recognizable profile.
The rock was once known by a different name before receiving its current designation. The area around Quixadá developed in the 1800s with construction projects nearby that changed the landscape.
The rock holds a special place in local stories and legends shared among Quixadá residents. These narratives connect the community to the landscape and shape how people understand this landmark.
The best way to reach the summit is via a marked hiking trail that starts at the base and climbs gradually. Bring plenty of water and wear sturdy shoes, as the path includes rocky sections and steeper stretches.
The rock sits on a crystalline base that dates back millions of years and is among the oldest stone in the region. This ancient material forms the foundation of what visitors see today.
