Lapa Terra Ronca

Lapa Terra Ronca is a limestone cave in Terra Ronca State Park featuring a massive entrance opening and spacious interior chambers. The cave system extends through multiple connected passages with varying dimensions and heights.

The area was once a seabed millions of years ago, evidenced by seashell remnants found in the rock walls. This geological history reveals how water and time shaped this underground landscape.

This cave serves as a spiritual gathering place where local communities have held religious ceremonies for generations. Visitors walking through the chambers can sense how the space remains meaningful for these practices.

To explore the cave, visitors should arrange guided tours since the system is complex and requires proper navigation. Sturdy footwear and a flashlight are important as deeper areas are dark.

The cave gets its name from the loud echo produced by the Lapa River flowing through underground passages. This acoustic phenomenon becomes especially noticeable when water flows through the passages after heavy rains.
