Quixadá Monoliths Natural Monument, Natural monument in Quixadá, Brazil.
The Quixadá Monoliths Natural Monument spans 16,635 hectares featuring numerous inselberg formations emerging from the semi-arid Caatinga biome landscape.
The Cedar Dam, constructed between 1890 and 1906 at the base of Pedra da Galinha Choca, represents early engineering techniques using stone masonry and steel.
Archaeological discoveries within the monument area include cave paintings and artifacts that demonstrate the presence of prehistoric human settlements in this region.
The monument maintains strict regulations on conservation, prohibiting activities such as rock removal, civil works, and modifications that could alter the ecological balance.
The geological formation contains multiple inselbergs, making it a prime location for paragliding activities, particularly during November when conditions reach peak performance.
