Pedra do Segredo
A seemingly precarious balancing boulder on the edge of Fortaleza Canyon, with a nearby lookout over a corner of the canyon.
Pedra do Segredo is a basalt boulder about 5 metres high near Fortaleza Canyon. Its contact with the ground is very small, so it looks as though it could roll off at any moment, and it is a well-known local rock landmark. It takes about 15 minutes' walk from the roadside parking to reach, and there are lookouts nearby over the canyon and forest. It is usually visited on the same day as Fortaleza Canyon and Tigre Preto Waterfall.
