Piauí · Archaeology and sertão landscapes
Serra da Capivara, Serra das Confusões and Oeiras with the Vale do Canindé connect archaeology, protected landscapes and historic inland culture in a part of Brazil that rewards slower regional travel.
Why these places belong together
Serra da Capivara is the obvious anchor, but the wider regional context matters. Serra das Confusões adds another huge protected landscape with a more remote character, while Oeiras and the Vale do Canindé bring historic settlement and cultural depth. Together they make southern Piauí feel like a region rather than a single famous park.
