A hundred metres underground you can see the Blue Lake Cave, which is filled with water to a depth of a further ninety metres. When undisturbed, the surface of the lake provides a magical mirror image of the rock formations above. Stalactites and stalagmites bedeck the sides and ceiling of the cave in straw-like, feathery or bulbous shapes left by deposits over thousands of years. There are great opportunities to take some stunning Brazil holiday photos here.
The best time to visit the cave is in the morning. At this time of day, the sunlight will shine through a hole in the grotto's ceiling to show the true colours of the water, with hues of sapphire or topaz. Scuba divers on archaeological expeditions have discovered the bones of prehistoric animals in the cave. Although home to animals for aeons, the cave was not discovered by man until 1924, and now its beauty can be enjoyed by visitors on holidays to Brazil.
