You probably couldn’t pay me to do this but travellers are loving this weird tourist attraction in Brazil where you get “swallowed” by rocks.
Pedra Que Engole, which roughly translates to “Swallow Rock," is a rock formation with a small waterfall above a river in Trindade, about 170 miles south of Rio de Janeiro.

Once inside the cave, you keep sliding down the natural water slide until you are spat out into the river below.
You then hike back up — about 20 minutes — and repeat.
