This cave Poco Azul had been found accidentally by a seeker of gold above nearly a hundred years ago. Poco Azul literally means “A bit Azure”. In the cave were found about 40 different species. In 1990 archaeologists found the skeleton of a large sloth average five tons heavy, which has been disappeared during the Pleistocene epoch, more than 11,000 years. The best time to visit the Poco Azul cave is between 12 and 14 o’clock when through a special hole entering sunlight creating an amazing effect. Therefore, keep in mind that your visit to the cave during cloudy days could disappoint you.
