Gruta da Mangabeira has a huge entrance portal and entrance hall, which was transformed into an important religious temple, visited by thousands of pilgrims every year. The main season for pilgrims is during August. The cave behind the church is more than three kilometres long, and the longest cave in the Ituaçú area. Until now no other major caves have been discovered in this part of the Una Group carbonates.
