About Complexo Serra da Matarina
The Complexo Serra da Matarina is part of Prata's rural itinerary in the Cariri region of Paraíba. The elevations and rock formations contribute to a caatinga landscape, different from the visit to the town center. The complex can be explored via circuits defined with local guides.
The duration and effort of the walk depend on the route chosen and the conditions of the terrain. Arrange the route before arriving, informing your experience and the needs of the participants. Vegetation changes in appearance throughout the year: the rains from February to May usually make the environment greener.
Bring water, sun protection and footwear suitable for the circuit. Entry may involve rural accesses and private properties, so the meeting point should be agreed with the person leading the activity. The described outing does not guarantee wildlife, constant visibility or visits without an access agreement.
