Trip Planner: South America / Brazil / State of Paraiba / Cabaceiras / Lajedo de Pai Mateus

Lajedo de Pai Mateus, Cabaceiras

4.7

#3 of 8 in Nature in State of Paraiba

#Geologic Formation, #Nature / Park, #Must See

Giant and oddly-placed boulders are called Lajedo de Pai Mateus. They are twice as tall as average person, and if you hit them with a rock, they make a bell-like sound. Best time to visit Lajedo de Pai Mateus is at dusk, to watch the sunset’s orange glow. But at any time of the day, you can see the cave paintings attributed to Cariris Indians, who lived in the region for some 12,000 years. As for the boulder’s name, legend has it that a hermit healer named Father Mattew lived in the region in the 18th century, and many people sought him to seek help with treating illnesses. He did not charge money for the cures, just asked for food, so his honor, the site got its name.

Um dos lugares mais incríveis que já visitei, já fui 2x mas sempre que puder, voltarei. Pena que estará disponível para visitação só a partir de abril/2018, está havendo gravações da Rede Globo. more »

One of the most amazing places I've visited, I used 2 x but when I can, I will. Too bad that will be available for visitation only from April/2018, there's footage of Rede Globo.

Just so you know, I was there day 1st November 2017 and the site will be closed until April 2018 because of the filming of the globe, don't let the Hotel which is the place of entry to get to the Lajedo. I drove 70 miles and had to go back. Anything just call the Hotel and they will tell you the same thing Have a security guard at the entrance and all the staff of the Globe can get in.

Lugar lindo!! Parece que você está em um cenário de filme de tão perfeito. O local é uma propriedade privada, por isso pagasse uma taxa ao Guia. more »

Beautiful place! Looks like you're in a movie is so perfect. The site is private property, why pay a fee to the Guide.

Andamos 20 km de carro em estrada de terra, mais 20 km voltando. O Lajedo estava fechado (para gravação da Globo?). Ninguem no caminho informou, não havia placa nas entradas avisando. Odiamos nosso dia. Foi frustrante. Nem uma explicação decente tivemos. Alguem que disse que talvez fosse porque a Globo alugol.... Dias mais miseravel nao lembro. & horas de viagem ao todo.

We walked 20 km drive on a dirt road, over 20 km back. The Rock was closed (for recording the globe?). No one in the way reported, there was no sign at the entrances warning. We hate our day was frustrating. Not a decent explanation. Someone said it might be because the Globe alugol. ... Miserable days I don't remember. & hours in all.

Linda reserva da natureza. Não deixe de visitar. Exuberante e transmite uma energia revigorante. Se programe para vê o pôr do sol. O último passeio com o guia sai do Hotel Fazenda Pai Mateus as 16:00 horas e custa R$ 30,00 por pessoa.
