Best of Brazil: More Piaui Caverns

ByAndrew

The last two Best of Brazil posts have featured pictures and video from colleague and friend Tim Reiner’s adventures in sand railing in the interior state of Piaui (see part 1 here, and part 2 here). Today’s post is a bonus round, featuring some photos Tim sent me of another cave he visited in the same general area. The main attraction of these caves is not indigenous artwork, as in the former, but the amazing stalactite and stalagmite formations.

The entrance into the cavern.

Like an underground cathedral.

A little video showing the musical qualities of the stalactites.

We’ve featured the Brazilian classic “Tico Tico no Fubá” before on this website…but never like this. Here it gets a full orchestra treatment, and not just from one orchestra, but two! In reality, I found both and couldn’t decide which arrangement I liked better, so I included them both. First up, an orchestra that I…
