Synopsis

Hello, my name is Divisa. In this booklet, I will tell you a little about some of the many non-living natural treasures of the municipalities of Alto Longá and Beneditinos – Piauí, Brazil. Formed many, many years ago, the abiotic (non-living) nature of these municipalities has true natural treasures and curiosities that not everyone imagines exist so close to them, and are even part of the daily lives of many people. But are these riches perceived and valued by the local population?

Considering that I live only on the border of these municipalities and I still don't know them very well, I will have the important help of two very intelligent friends who know the regions where they live. But don't worry, I will introduce them later.

I'm telling you to stay tuned, because good and unprecedented geohistories are coming!

Happy discovering!
