Highlights
- Cidade de Socorro Gateway - We will see the historic entrance to the city.
- Pousada Gruta Do Anjo - The extraction of minerals* (quartz, feldspar and granite) started in 1960 by the pioneer Mr. Clemente Bortolotti, over the years has created a huge artificial cave.
Deactivated in 1995, its walls designed by the explosions for the removal of ores form a very attractive view.
There are large galleries that can be visited, where springs and water infiltrations have created a natural pool, and in some places it is up to 4 meters deep with a constant temperature around 10 degrees, making it a natural nursery for carp. .
Since then, the Gruta do Anjo is open to visitors.
In addition to the unique and stunning look, ecological pedal boat tours are allowed inside.
- Cachoeira Rancho Alegre - A great waterfall for bathing in Socorro is Rancho Alegre, located on the Socorro/Munhoz road. Thus, this waterfall is in the Tourist Corridor of Rio do Peixe \

Additional Information
This journey extricates you from the hustle and bustle of São Paulo to view lush vistas en route. The caves are sizeable channels that are open for exploration, with springs and water seepage leading to the formation of a natural pool in these expanses. In certain sections, it reaches a depth of 4 meters, holding a steady temperature of approximately 10 degrees. This constitutes a natural breeding ground for carp.

It is worth going to the Cave of the Angel, very beautiful! Good service, pedal and vest. - The cave exceeded our expectations. Very nice place, we loved the pedal. The vests were in good condition, they didn't fade. We were well served.

Good - It was a good ride. The cave is beautiful, it's perfect! I only thought the price was high for the entrance to the cave.
The pedal boat ride is quick, but cool. The day we went, after Christmas, it wasn't so crowded, we could take lots of photos.

Cute - The cave is very small, I thought it was bigger…but it is very cute. There can be a long queue for the pedal boats. There was only one person organizing the queue. Overall she is very pretty.

Terrible service. - The landscapes are beautiful, but I didn't see any angels. I went with a tourism agency, which had scheduled the visit, however, we were not served as agreed for the use of the pedal boats. There was a very long queue and because of this, many people did not go around on the pedal boats. Note: very rude employees, except Maurício,
who gave brief information about the cave; pedal boats with a lack of maintenance and smelly vests... I don't recommend them!

Beautiful cave, but small, and disorganized on the pedal boats and a lot of delay. And expensive price 50 reais - It costs a lot, 50 reais per person, it is beautiful, but small, and there are few pedal boats to get to the end of it, there were only 5 working and we got in a queue with 70 people in front of us, and it took us 2: 50 hours minutes, that's absurd. They should instruct their employees to hurry people on pedal boats, and add more quantity as well. Because there were people who spent more than 15 minutes on the route, and it would have been possible to do it for a maximum of 5 minutes... I wouldn't recommend it unless it improved.

Very sad - The place has potential, but it is very poorly maintained, it is expensive, the vests stink, and the pedal boats are destroyed, bad lighting, staff and owner don't give you any support, they don't talk about the history of the place and they don't seem to care about having us there. It's a shame the history of the place and the things we heard from other people are really cool but the owner doesn't make a point of exploring this.

Lack of structure and disorganization - This tour is pet friendly.
I took my pet, a super docile German Shepherd
The guide inside the cave said that I wouldn't be able to go on a tour if I didn't put a muzzle on my dog. At reception there was no notice about this and no one said anything either.
When I told the guide that I didn't have a muzzle, he said that we couldn't go on the tour.
I then said that I wanted my money back and the guide replied saying that he would not return the money and that if I didn't leave he would call the POLICE.
After my husband talked to the boy for a long time, we ended up taking a walk around the cave, but the trip was already doomed to failure.
They do not have the structure to receive the animals.
If you are traveling with your pet, do not go to this place as it will cause rabies.
