Buraco do Padre, Cave formation in Ponta Grossa, Brazil

A vertical cave with a 40-meter height and a 45-meter diameter opening contains a waterfall flowing through Devonian sandstone formations.

The geological structure formed over millions of years through natural erosion processes within the Furnas Formation of the Paraná sedimentary basin.

Local artists contribute to the preservation of the surrounding area by creating murals and participating in environmental education programs.

The park welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM, with online tickets required for all activities.

The Fenda da Freira section extends 300 meters through moss-covered rock walls, revealing distinct patterns of geological stratification.
