O PRIMEIRO PARQUE NACIONAL DO RN | Furna Feia, Baraúna, Rio Grande do Norte | Vlog Viagem 4K

Did you know that Rio Grande do Norte has a National Park with over 200 cataloged caves? In this episode of Floating Minds, we explore the Furna Feia National Park, the most important conservation unit of the Potiguar caatinga and the state's first National Park. Our adventure begins in Mossoró and continues to the community of Jurema, the gateway to one of the most fascinating places in the northeastern hinterland. Accompanied by guide Jean Carlos and the ICMBio team, we hike the trail to the impressive Furna Nova Cave, currently the only cave open to visitors within the park. During the tour, we learn interesting facts about the caatinga, the geological formation of the region, stalactites, stalagmites, bats, the water table, and the importance of preserving this unique natural heritage of Brazil. A tour that mixes adventure, science, natural history, and some of the most impressive underground landscapes we've ever seen. 📍 Furna Feia National Park 📍 Mossoró • Baraúna • Rio Grande do Norte 00:00 Introduction 01:00 What is Furna Feia National Park? 02:10 Leaving Mossoró towards the park 03:15 Conversation with Jean Carlos, ICMBio guide 04:06 The importance of the Caatinga biome 04:52 Start of the trail 06:00 Park map and visit information 06:24 Interesting facts about the Caatinga biome 08:25 When this region was the seabed 09:28 Arrival at the cave entrance 11:00 First impressions of Furna Nova 12:16 Stalactites and stalagmites 13:20 The largest stalactite curtain in Rio Grande do Norte 14:23 What is guano? 15:03 How caves replenish the water table 15:39 The next caves that will be open for visitation 16:24 Playing pareidolia inside the cave 18:00 How to schedule a visit 18:33 Lunch in the community 19:30 The origin of the name Furna Feia (Ugly Cave) 20:00 Is it worth visiting? 🥾 Guide and visitation Jean Carlos Instagram: @geanvale_01 Furna Feia National Park Instagram: @parnafurnafeia 📸 Follow Mentes Flutuantes (Floating Minds) Instagram: @mentesflutuantes ❤️ Become a channel member and help make the production of new travel documentaries in Brazil possible. #FurnaFeiaNationalPark #FurnaFeia #Mossoro #Barauna #RioGrandeDoNorte #Caatinga #Cave #BrazilianCaves #Ecotourism #TourismRN #Nature #FloatingMinds #ICMBio #Northeast #Sertao
