Tundavala Gap, Natural cliff formation in Huila Province, Angola
The Tundavala Gap spans over cliffs with a 1200-meter drop, marking the end of Angola's Central Plateau at an elevation of 2200 meters.
The natural formation has influenced regional development, leading to the construction of Tundavala National Stadium in Lubango, which hosted 2010 African Nations Championship matches.
Local communities maintain strong spiritual connections to Tundavala Gap, considering it a sanctuary where ancestral spirits find refuge among the cliffs.
The site lies 18 kilometers from Lubango city center, with paved roads providing direct access for visitors throughout the year.
The geological structure creates a natural window between the Huila plateau and the Namibe Desert, displaying two distinct geographical regions of Angola.
