Gruta do Cão (Dog´s Cave)

Gruta do Cão
Situated in the region of caverns in Chapada Diamantina near the village of Iraguara (Bahia). This cave is located in one of the most beautiful hills of the area with large trees, whose roots have climbed down the canyon walls, forming a veil of vegetation. You will find stalactites, stalagmites and an underground lake in the interior. See Lencol (sheet) of Pratinha.

One enters the cave through a series of descending rustic ladders. To enter one must pay a fee to the owners and use a guide. To get there from Iraquara follow highway BA-432 until you reach the town of Santa Rita and from there, take a dirt road to the caves.
