Guided explorations take you to Lapa Doce Cave’s ancient formations and reward you with a panoramic sunset atop Pai Inácio Hill. The unique highlight? Floating in the turquoise depths of Poço Encantado and Poço Azul—an ethereal experience for all ages. This tour blends moderate adventure with moments of relaxation, making it perfect for families and youthful spirits eager to explore Brazil’s natural wonders together.

day 2 - Tour of Lapa Doce Cave

We leave Lençóis by car in the morning towards Iraquara to visit the Pratinha Cave. The perfect place for a swim in the crystalline waters of the Pratinha River, and where we visit the Blue Grotto, enjoying the natural beauties of the place at the quietest time of visit. The attraction also has floating diving options inside the cave and zip lines (optional).

In the afternoon, we will have a delicious lunch of typical foods, before driving towards the Lapa Doce Cave. The Iraquara region is famous for its limestone subsoil that allowed the formation of numerous caves and some with very rare rock formations. With the help of a local guide, we will cross the Gruta da Lapa Doce and discover the beautiful formations of stalactites, stalagmites, speleothems, columns, and their formation processes over millions of years.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
