TCHITUNDO-HULO

Tchitundo-Hulo, a few kilometres from the town of Virei in the province of Namibe, is a fine example of Angolan cave art with paintings on ceilings of two cavities or rock shelters and open air engravings on the granite massif. The forms of engravings are similar to geometrical, circular and oval figures. Researchers go back to age 2 600. This site would be a sacred hill of one of the pre-Bantu peoples in the region.

The rise of this massif is due, especially at the warmest hours. This is often the case for a return to the day from the town of Namibe. Following one of the local guides on the rocks is already an exceptional experience.

In the absence of legislation and control, the visitor must feel obliged to respect this heritage. The engraved rocks are already heavily damaged by the extreme amplitude of daytime and nocturnal temperatures.
