The legends are part of the construction of the culture of a people. So true in the fantasy that end up be so real as much as the histories catalogued and recorded in books and scriptures. They arise of the popular imagination that inspires-itself in some real fact creating, then, a version caricata. Like this was born dad-noel, saci-pererês, hidden treasures and so many others that are part of our folklore. Ubatuba, land of mysteries and infinite beauties, also is collection of many legends. The “Tunnel of the Prainha” was forgetful and dull by the time. His opening, a little to the right of the old trapiche located in the old one Prainha, today named beach of the Matarazzo, was buried and replaced by the construction of a gigantic condomínio closed.
The secret passage of dificílimo access travels through all I Die him of the Caruçu-little, like this called in an imposing and where old past mansions built by would sing (special stones for construction) coming of Portugal as well like buildings of customs, big warehouses and a trapiche, composed the place. The tunnel traveled through all I die finishing in a disguised opening that to the days of today finds-itself in the beginning of the neighborhood of the Perequê-Açu, forming a crossroads between the streets Félix Guisard and General Mines, specifically where is a big plate of publicity of the Wine Cellar Silvamar, some 200m after bridge that interliga the center and the neighborhood.
The old they say that the tunnel was built by the black persons for that could flee. Second information, the tunnel built in rock had the passage for an only man for time. With it pass from the time, also was used by old pirates that traveled carrying his treasures in corsários, however many times in land buried them fix for have bigger security when already had in lie the intention of provoke an attack.
That signifies that many times did not survive seek-them. Some they sworn that well to the center of the tunnel exists a structure abobadada where was built a canastra of leather that guard until today rough diamonds, precious metals and knows itself there that other precious stones more, but affirm that they are of the mines of the Itacolomi and of the searches of General Mines being part of an old and important smuggling. Or who knows would be this a history created by the pirates? Finally, it exists a dictated popular that says: Where do there is smoke, there is fire! Everybody can visit the opening of the tunnel, in the Perequê-Açu. To small cavern that formed itself with the time has some 2m or more of height. Entire it formed by rock, she has the passage also closed, however some niches existing rock inwards, today are shelter of inoffensive and uninterested bats. Unfortunately, the people left itself fall in the forgetfulness and some use the place as deposit of trash that always is withdrawn by the garis.
