Gruta da Torrinha

A cave famous for rare aragonite flowers and helictites, considered the most richly decorated cave in the Chapada Diamantina.

Gruta da Torrinha lies in Iraquara. Inside are extremely rare aragonite flowers, helictites and shield formations, small and delicate secondary chemical deposits, making it the most richly decorated cave in the Chapada Diamantina. Visits require a guide, and there are several routes of varying length, taking about 1 to 3 hours. Some sections require stooping or climbing. Admission depends on the route and costs roughly 40 to 80 reais. It is very close to Gruta da Lapa Doce, so the two can be visited on the same day.
