Gruta da Marota
A cave of speleothems in the village of Ubiraitá, in Andaraí, Chapada Diamantina. About 1 km on foot, light effort, roughly 1h30 on site.
The way into Gruta da Marota is a crack at the foot of a 70 m rock wall. Beyond it are several galleries filled with speleothems, the formations water shapes in stone over long stretches of time.
The cave sits in the village of Ubiraitá, in Andaraí, a municipality in the Seabra microregion and the Itaberaba immediate region. It is about 57 km by car from town, with the last stretch on foot, roughly 1 km of light walking. Visits usually take around 1h30.
Andaraí is one of the six municipalities that share Parque Nacional da Chapada Diamantina, along with Ibicoara, Itaetê, Lençóis, Mucugê and Palmeiras. Being in the municipality is not the same as being inside the park: for anything within the park boundaries, ICMBio recommends hiring a visitor guide, since the trails are not signposted.
In the same municipality, the Vivai catalogue lists other places worth pairing with this one, such as Pantanal Marimbus, Piscinas do Rio Roncador, Gruta da Paixão and Balneário Rio Paraguaçu.
