Lapa dos Brejões is a complex of caverns formed in Neoproterozoiclimestones of the Una Group of caves (Salitre formation) along the Jacaré river, northeast side of the Irecê sedimentary basin. It is located in the northern portion of the Chapada Diamantina - Polígono das Secas, in the north central part of the State of Bahia, about 500 km from the capital Salvador, Brazil. According to local people, the Lapa dos Brejões was discovered in 1877, but the first discoveries inside the cave were published only in 1938 by Father Camilo Torrendt.[1]
