Maroaga Cave, Sandstone cave in Presidente Figueiredo, Brazil
The cave features a system of underground passages with stalactites and stalagmites formed within ancient geological formations of the northern Brazilian Amazon.
The cave received its name from a Waimiri-Atroari tribal chief who used it as a shelter during the construction of BR-174 highway in the 1960s.
The cave stands within a protected environmental area of 374,700 hectares, where rural communities cultivate traditional crops like banana, cassava, and guaraná.
Visitors must join guided tours that last two hours, covering 1,300 meters of trail, with entrance fees of 20 Brazilian reais per adult.
The cave maintains a constant waterfall at its entrance throughout the year, even during the dry season when other waterfalls in the region disappear.
