Serra da Capivara National Park, located in the northeast of Brazil in the state of Piauí, is renowned for its remarkable archaeological and paleontological significance. The park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to thousands of prehistoric rock paintings and carvings that date back as far as 25,000 years, making it one of the most important sites for understanding early human history in the Americas. Covering approximately 129,140 hectares, the park also features diverse ecosystems, including caatinga, a type of dry forest unique to the region.
