Iporanga was founded in 1576 by gold scavengers, as Garimpo de Santo
Antônio. Arraial de Santo Antônio was established in 1625. A river
port was built in 1676 near the mouth of river Iporanga, which became
the seat of the town in 1730.
Iporanga is the Capital of Caves; the municipal territory includes
more than 300 caves, which is the highest density in Brazil. The Casa
de Pedra (Stone House) cave has the biggest entrance in the world, of
215 m in height.
