Sete Cidades National Park, National park in Brasileira, Brazil

The national park extends across 6,221 hectares of land featuring red sandstone formations, native vegetation, and natural pools between rocky outcrops.

The Brazilian government established Sete Cidades National Park in 1961 to protect prehistoric rock paintings and geological formations dating back millions of years.

The park contains numerous archaeological sites with rock art panels created by indigenous peoples, depicting animals, human figures, and geometric patterns.

Visitors must hire local guides at the entrance center for tours of the park, with rates starting from 25 Brazilian reais for three-hour guided walks.

Rock formations within the park naturally resemble familiar shapes, including an elephant, turtle, and castle, creating distinct landmarks throughout the protected area.
