Cânion do Sussuapara, Canyon and cave entrance in Ponte Alta do Tocantins, Brazil.
The Sussuapara Canyon features tall stone walls covered with ferns and moss, leading to a natural pool with a 5-meter waterfall.
The name Sussuapara originates from the Tupi-Guarani language, referring to the antlered deer that once inhabited the surrounding region.
Local tradition involves collecting white stones from the ground, making wishes, and placing them along the canyon walls.
