Yesterday morning me, Teacher José Adenilson and one of the monitor of Caatinga’s Adventure Júlio Cesar went to Furna dos Caboclos (Indigenous’ Cave).

At 7:00 am sharply we set off towards Lagedo district far from 9 kilometres away the downtown. After a briefing and passing some information we went to Furna dos Caboclos, we hiking about 4,5 kilometres and after up and down the river we finally reached the Archaeological site. There teacher José Adenilson explained about the Fauna and Flora. Afterwards I explained about the rock art paints and the indigenous group who inhabited this region.

Actually about 9.000 years B.P, and so far, the rock art paintings are well-preserved, basically they present in yellow colour and red ones.
