Gruta de Maquiné, Limestone cave in Cordisburgo, Brazil.
The cave extends 650 meters through seven chambers, featuring numerous limestone formations, mineral deposits, and underground galleries with varied geological characteristics.
Danish naturalist Peter Wilhelm Lund conducted extensive research in 1834, discovering fossils of extinct animals and establishing the cave's importance for Brazilian paleontology.
Local guides share detailed information about the cave's geological processes, mineral compositions, and the scientific discoveries that occurred within its chambers.
The cave maintains a constant temperature between 26 and 27 degrees Celsius, with installed lighting systems and walkways providing safe access for visitors.
The sixth chamber, Salão das Fadas, contains preserved mammoth bones and other prehistoric animal remains within its limestone formations.
