Lapa Doce, Natural cave in Iraquara, Brazil
The limestone cave extends over 40 kilometers beneath the surface, featuring numerous chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites formations.
The cave system formed during the Quaternary period through water erosion of calcium carbonate rocks, creating intricate underground passages.
Local residents and scientists study the cave's geological formations to understand the regional development of Brazil's underground systems.
Guided tours through designated sections of the cave require advance reservations and proper walking shoes for navigating the limestone terrain.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 24 degrees Celsius throughout the year, preserving ancient mineral formations within its chambers.
