Portão do Inferno
A deep valley with cliffs along which the MT-251 highway runs. From the roadside you can look down nearly 100 m of sheer cliffs.
Portão do Inferno is a stretch of cliffs and deep valley that the MT-251 highway passes through before reaching the plateau. The road runs close to the edge of the cliff, with steep sandstone walls and forest below. It is the first viewpoint on the way up from Cuiabá. Because of the risk of rockfall, the road has been reinforced and tunneled in several sections, so when stopping to look, keep an eye on safety and traffic control. Entry is free, and it suits a brief stop along the way.
