About Laje das Moças
Laje das Moças is one of the landmarks of Monteiro's rural circuits. The rocky landscape shapes the walking paths in the caatinga and provides an experience different from visits to musical memory sites. Access should be arranged with a local guide.
The circuit can vary in duration and effort depending on the chosen route. Confirm the entry point, the transfer from town and the return before departing. Observing the rock formations and vegetation does not require covering all sections of a longer itinerary.
Bring water, sun protection and footwear suitable for the terrain. Vegetation tends to change with the rains, more common between February and May in the Cariri. From June to September there is generally less rain, but preparation for the walk should consider the day's conditions and the group's needs.
