Wolf pit trap

The relationship between man and wolf is secular and marked by its persecution, which justifies the construction of traps in the middle of the mountains.

Fojo do Lobo is a granite structure with converging walls ending in a circular pit where the wolves were directed by the population. This ritual implied that the entire village and neighboring villages were part of the raid.
