have been following this thread, very interesting pictures , thanks for sharing, and were you able to swim in the blue cave ? looks awesome !

Hi,

no, we were not swimming in the blue cave.

We drove to the Rio da Casca - am grünen Pin.

The high level of Chapada dos Guimarães is also the watershed between the Amazon river and the Rio Parana river.
For example, the Rio da Casca flows to the Rio Xingu.

Unfortunately, the species richness was not so great - but better than nothing:


Cachoeira da Marthina
