Giant granite monoliths, reservoirs and Sertão culture make Quixadá one of Ceará’s most distinctive inland landscapes.
Why this place
Quixadá rises from Ceará’s Sertão Central among enormous granite monoliths, the historic Açude do Cedro and landmarks tied to writer Rachel de Queiroz. The terrain has also made the region a recognised base for climbing, hiking, rappelling and free flight.
A place should not be reduced to one hero image. These views show different parts of the experience and landscape.
The reservoir and granite monolith bring together Quixadá’s engineering history and Sertão landscape.
