Gruta do Maquiné (Maquiné Cavern)
The Maquiné cavern near Cordisburgo (Minas Gerais) has been carved from limestone by the force of water over millennia. Most chambers and galleries stay almost at the same level, as opposed to the Rei do Mato cavern in Sete Lagoas. The immense galleries host numerous formations that seem to portray large animals in a timeless scenery. This cavern has been discovered in 1825 by the Portuguese Joaquim Maria do Maquiné, and was studied from 1834 onwards by the Danish researcher Peter Wilhelm Lund. The Maquiné cavern is considered among the most beautiful on the planet.
