- Boca do Inferno - The name “Mouth of Hell” is attributed to this place due to its morphological resemblance and the tremendous and awe-inspiring impact of the waves. The rock formation in the cliff is of a carbonated nature.
The erosion caused by rainwater, which contains dissolved carbon dioxide, leads to the dissolution of the carbonate.
Through this process, cavities and caves are formed within the limestones. With the collapse of the upper layers, the cave has been destroyed, leaving a large open cavity. This place, with its unique characteristics, is a leisure spot where one can enjoy a divine landscape and magnificent sunsets, though it is overshadowed by the unfortunate suicides that occur on its dangerous and unprotected cliff.
