Algar dos capitães - a cave open to the public, but to visit you need a board, kayak or small boat. You can look in from above, but you can't even begin to see the dimensions.

Here, over the millennia, the power of the water has carved a huge gate out of the rocks. A great photo opportunity.

An incredibly beautiful sight. It's worth visiting here in the evening to enjoy the special atmosphere.
