Furada Negra

Since the very formation of the Earth, caves have been used for so many purposes that any attempt to list them all remains unfinished and becomes personal, yet it is still an indispensable alphabet. Shelter during the monsoon season. A basalt calendar. Prison, a place of torture. A conclave for swiftlets, a rock-hewn columbarium, a dragons’ nest to this day. The domain of bats. Hideaway for those persecuted for their political or religious activities. Dance halls with enormous stalactites for lamps.

There are caverns that sing with a gentle voice, but others make us tremble. Thus, with a shiver down one’s spine, these memories of the underworld begin.
