Existem ainda inúmeras pinturas rupestres na região de Carnaúba dos Dantas, onde foram catalogados mais de 70 sítios (como exemplos têm os sítios Xique-Xique, Pedra do Alexandre dentre outros).

Besides the mountain ranges and the great number of archeological sites, among them the Pedra do Alexandre and the Xique-xique, you will have the oportunity of getting to know the largest religious sanctuary of the Seridó, the Monte do Galo (Mount of the Rooster), founded in 1927, that receives thousands of pilgrims each year. From this mount, you will be able to see the Bivar Castel, of medieval french architecture, that surprises for it's unusual aspect.

Don't forget to see the Pedra do Dinheiro (Money Stone), found on the Maribondo Farm, which is responsible for many local legends. It is told that at midnight, a golden sheep appears at the foot of the stone making a lot of noise. Anyone who has seen it, is probably still running. These are stories and legends that live inside the countryside imagination and that enriches the culture of the people.

The city began as a small agricultural property, built in the early 1860's, by the couple Antônio Dantas de Maria and Hermínia Maria da Conceição. In Carnaúba dos Dantas, the musician Tonheca Dantas was born, one of the most expressive names in the artistic history of Rio Grande do Norte. His work is vast and enriched by the beauty of the melody in his marches, compositions and valses, one of which is called "Royal Cinema".

Visit the Fazenda Carnaúba de Baixo - an agricultural property that offers horseback riding, trails with interpretation of primitive paintings and minerals. Meals based on organic food, manufactured at the property itself.
