About Serra da Engabelada
Serra da Engabelada is part of Congo's rural routes in the Cariri paraibano. The elevations and rock formations relate to the caatinga landscape, outside the municipal seat. Routes are arranged with guides who organize arrival and the walk.
The chosen trail determines duration, effort and the entry point. Check the circuit that best suits the participants' conditions and include transport between the town and the rural area. The regional proximity to the Paraíba River does not turn the hike into a water excursion.
Secure entry authorization and bring water, sun protection and hiking footwear. Between February and May, rains typically change vegetation and ground humidity. June to September tends to be drier; visibility and trail conditions vary by day.

Tip
