    Terra Ronca Cave

    Hi. I had some nice vacations recently and one of the places I visited was the State park of Terra Ronca. It is located in the state of Goiás, in Brazil's central area, and is composed of a series of caves. I explore two of them during my stay in the state park. The main cave, Terra Ronca, is considered to have one the largest cave mouths (entrance) in Latin America, with impressive dimensions of 90m high and 120m wide.

    The park is 1800km (1100 miles) from where I live but 650km (400 miles) from my parents city. The last 40km (25 miles) are non asphalted routes.

    Here are some images of this cave. I will soon share images of another cave I explored, called Angélica. Hope you like them. C&C welcomed.

    Ps.: Again, my father was the partner on this adventure!
