The Interior of the Cave

The most famous spot is the so-called “Cathedral Hall.” Staircases and bridges lead visitors through huge rock formations that took thousands of years to form.

Among the natural sculptures, some have received curious names, such as Guardian, Snow White, and Devil’s Cauldron.

In addition to the Devil’s Cave, the city of Eldorado hosts several other caves, earning it the title of “Cave Capital” in the state of São Paulo.

State Park

Established in 1969, the Devil’s Cave State Park is the second largest conservation unit in São Paulo.

It occupies approximately 150,000 hectares and preserves large areas of Atlantic Forest, along with other important ecosystems.

The park is home to a rich and varied fauna. Recently, a new species of primate was discovered in the region: the Caiçara Lion Monkey.

Endangered animals also live there, such as the jaguarundi, otter, black-collared titi, purple-faced parrot, and jacu. Among the plant species, the juçara palm, typical of the Atlantic Forest, stands out.

Other Attractions

Besides the cave, the region offers trails, waterfalls, and viewpoints. The best-known waterfalls are the Cachoeira do Araçá and the Cachoeira do Sapatu.

The Cruzeiro and Governador viewpoints are recommended for observing the landscape and contemplating the horizon.

Other smaller caves, such as Rolado and Frias, complete the experience for those seeking more adventure.

Prices and Guiding

A visit to the Devil’s Cave costs R$ 19. Children up to 12 years old, seniors over 60, and people with disabilities have free entry. Students pay half-price, which is R$ 9.50.

Additionally, it is mandatory to hire the environmental guiding service. The cost is R$ 18 in cash or R$ 20 by card per person. The guidance ensures safety and contributes to the preservation of the space.

Devil’s Cave: A Complete Destination

Therefore, the Devil’s Cave stands out as a destination that combines tourism, adventure, and environmental preservation.

With easy access, organized structure, and diverse attractions, it has become one of the main references in ecotourism in São Paulo.

It continues to impress all who visit, both for its natural grandeur and for the ecological richness that surrounds it.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.
