At Gruta Catedral (formerly Gruta São Mateus), your experience begins long before you enter the cave. The tour starts at the attraction's reception area, where visitors are invited to explore a Museum of Cultural History, which houses a valuable collection of antique artifacts used by the local population of Bonito, as well as an interesting collection of taxidermied animals, providing a true journey through the history, culture, and biodiversity of the region.
After this initial immersion, you follow a 320-meter interpretive trail, surrounded by nature, that leads to the entrance of the cave. During the journey, you can already feel the adventurous atmosphere and contemplate the typical landscape of the southern Mato Grosso cerrado, making the path part of the experience.
Upon entering the cave, a fascinating internal journey of approximately 180 meters begins, where visitors are enveloped in an impressive landscape filled with ancient rock formations. Inside, it is possible to observe speleothems of various shapes and sizes, such as stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, sculpted over thousands of years by the action of water and time.
Strategic lighting further enhances the details of the cave, creating a magical environment that awakens the enchantment and curiosity of everyone. Each step reveals new shapes, textures, and colors, making the tour a unique sensory experience that combines natural beauty, knowledge, and adventure.
Come and discover the Cathedral Cave and experience the true thrill of exploring one of the most beautiful and impressive caves in the Bonito region, a destination that enchants visitors from Brazil and around the world.
