16. "Congratulations. I am a protector of the caves.  I have been searching the Internet, looking for signs of environmental impact on the pictures of the sites related to the theme.  The problem is serious, and we need to stand up for it. Unhappily, in the last times, with the growing number of radical sports practicers, anybody, many without the technical knowledge sensitivity, who think they are speleologists.  The adventure of the human spirit, in the search of knowledge, cannot be exercised without Reason and Sensitivity. Sensibility is the key word for the good development of the Speleology not only focused on the exploration, but also committed with the protection of the underground kingdom. I have been observing that the groups that frequent the areas of caves and make sites, most of the times present, at the opening, that old cliché "Don't take anything from the caves, and only leave footprints". This statement is absurd!  And what if you leave footprints on a "travertino"?  That is worse than those paintings on rocks. The more beautiful the espeleotema is, the more they want to take pictures on it. Take Great Travertino in Grotto of Temimina for exemple, I found several pictures of "speleologist" about that magnificent formation. Many of them wrote about Santana's Cave situation, in PETAR. Well then, last year, I was at Cave of the Dream and right at the entrance, when observing with attention the ground, before stepping, I saw a beautiful formation. ALL!!! the ground of that cave is very beautiful and fragile, and Santana, in some tourist passages, has already been like that. It is impossible to enter into  Cave of the Dream without environmental impacts.  Then, I didn't enter in Cave of the Dream. Man has always been fascinated by the caves, the Archeology teach us that the occupation of the  entrance area of caves is old. If Man from the past hadn't penetrated these caves for lack of illumination technology, or for respect, or taboo, or whatever, the fact is that today find virgin caves. And to enter a virgin cave, is the same as touching it, and that is deeply incoherent, because we say that we loved the caves. I believe that from the caves nothing can be taken away, but our experiences, lived on these Geological Temples, and in the caves nothing should be left, even footprints, because if we walk by the water and sandy passages, without any speleotem species, we won't "Santanize".  We need to learn how to dream, because in virgin caves, we can only enter in our dreams... "tip from Steve Johnson.

18 "Never enter into a cave with company, or with an experienced guide, because the risks of suffering some accident or to get lost are big" tip from Bruno Freitas - Paulo Paulo SP  

19. "Hi, people. My name is Ricardo Joaçaba from Santa Catarina. I've been to Santana's nucleus with more or less 40 people last year. It was great!  And this year i'm sending a another group.The guide that accompanied us was Mr. Hélio, with 3 more monitors. We made groups of 10 and went into the caves. It's a shame we couldn't visit devil's cave, for lack of time. But this time we will get to know it and enjoy the radical sports of yours. The people who went last year and the ones that are going this year are academics of "tourism and hotel administration" from the west university of saint catarina (unoesc).” tip from Ricardo Pinho
