| Urubici - Hill - Morro Pelado |
Morro Pelado |
The absence of vegetation is what originated the name “Pelado” for this hill
located in the surroundings of Urubici. According to a legend of the region, 10 families lived on a cave in the hill, descendant of the bororó
indians.
The tribe lived practically isolated, feeding on plants and other small animals.
On night of full moon, they realized a ritual around a fire, where they invoked spirits. One day, a rebel spirit turned against the families,
provoking a huge fire that caused the deforestation on the entire hill, making it "naked" (“pelado”). |
