Environment

The Peruaçu River is a tributary of the São Francisco River, flowing from the tropical Cerrado region towards the semi-arid Caatinga of north east Brazil.

It runs through a deep canyon cut through a limestone massif, with many galleries and caves in the high cliffs on either side.

The Olhos d'Agua cave is {{convert|6|km}} long, and the Janelso cave is {{convert|3020|by|400|m}} and {{convert|200|m}} high.

The caves contain stalactites, one of which is {{convert|28|m}} high.

Rock paintings have been found throughout the area.

The river course holds gallery forests, while the massif holds some of the last areas of "dry forest" left in central Brazil.

On 16 September 1998 the area was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tentative List.{{sfn|Cavernas do Peruaçu ... UNESCO}}
