Kaapiuara

Kaapiuara lies near the Serra da Capivara, a range of sandstone cliffs and rock shelters in the dry interior of northeastern Brazil. The shelters preserve a remarkable concentration of ancient paintings, including images of people and animals. Stone tools found at Toca da Tira Peia testify to a much earlier human presence in the region, while the painted walls preserve traces of later generations who lived among the hills.
