Serra da Capivara National Park (Portuguese: Parque Nacional Serra da Capivara, IPA: [ˈpaʁki nɐsjoˈnaw ˈsɛʁɐ dɐ kɐpiˈvaɾɐ]) is a national park in the Northeastern region of Brazil. The area has many prehistoric paintings.
The name of the mountain range that defines the park, "Serra da Capivara," literally means "Capybara Hills" in Portuguese. This area has the largest and the oldest concentration of prehistoric sites in the Americas.[1][2] Scientific studies confirm that the Capivara mountain range was densely populated in the pre-Columbian Era.[3]
