One of the most interesting rock art sites in Angola.
There are 2 hills (Tshitundo hills). On the larger hill is a rock shelter with rock paintings. In front of the shelter some petroglyphs (concentric circles) can be found.
Another rock shelter with many rock paintigs is located at the base of the smaller hill.
