Pedra que Engole
A giant boulder cave on the coast at Trindade, where you can swim through an underwater passage beneath the rock, an exciting spot for photos.
Near Trindade, several giant boulders overlap to form a natural cave and waterway. At low tide, you can slip in through the crevices, swim through the dark water tunnel, and emerge on the other side. The name, meaning 'the stone that swallows people,' comes from this experience. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes on foot along the coastal path from Trindade village. Go only at low tide when the sea is calm, since large waves make it extremely dangerous. Going in alone is not recommended, and children must be supervised.
