Gruta da Torrinha, Underground cave system in Chapada Diamantina, Brazil.

The cave extends 13,070 meters beneath the surface with numerous passages containing mineral formations of aragonite, gypsum, and calcite deposits.

French speleologists from Meanders Group conducted the first topographic mapping in 1992, documenting 600 meters of the cave system.

Local inhabitants maintain and guide visitors through three established routes, contributing to sustainable tourism development in the Bahia region.

Visitors receive helmets and must follow marked paths with red tape, while tours range from one to three hours through different sections.

The cave contains the second largest aragonite flower formation globally, preserved within a natural calcite bubble structure.
