Lajedo de Soledade, Archaeological site in Apodi, Brazil
The limestone formation spans across 3 square kilometers, featuring caves, ravines, and rock shelters that collect water during rainy seasons.
The limestone bedrock formed 90 million years ago when shallow seas covered the region, creating the largest limestone exposure in the Potiguar Basin.
The rock walls display red, yellow, and black prehistoric paintings in 30 different areas, indicating ceremonial use by ancient populations.
The site receives 600 to 700 visitors monthly, primarily students from universities in Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Paraíba, and Pernambuco states.
Paleontological excavations in 1993 uncovered numerous fossils of Pleistocene megafauna, including remains of giant sloths and armadillos.
