The Blue Lake Cave, Brazil! |
Located in the southern region of
Brazil near the quiet town of Bonito, you'll find the amazing Blue Lake
Cave - Gruta do Lago Azul - which is appropriately named, considering
the cave minerals help make the sparkling clear water a beautiful azure
blue, decorated with stalactites and other geological cave formations.

There are many caves in the southern
region of Brazil which have underground lakes, but Blue Lake Cave near
the sleepy town of Bonito is the most spectacular. After descending for
about a hundred meters down into the cave, pool of astonishingly clear
blue water is presented before your eyes. |
|
The water gets its remarkable color
from its high magnesium content, as well as from the interplay of light
through the long, sloping entrance. The cave also has some of the
world's most unusual formations, with stalactites that jut out from the
overhanging rock at radically skewed angles, almost horizontal in some
places.
|
Thought to be over two hundred feet
deep, the water turns a particularly beautiful blue when the sunlight
shines through a hole in the ceiling of the cave, and makes the water
shimmering in the light. With its marvelous scenery, Blue Lake Cave is
now a popular spot in Brazil and has been listed as a World Heritage
site.
