Véu de Noiva Waterfall
Cachoeira Véu de Noiva
A waterfall plunging from red sandstone cliffs about 86 meters high. It is the emblem of the national park and the entire plateau.
Véu de Noiva lies near the national park visitor center. Water falls about 86 m from the top of a red sandstone cliff straight into the green canyon below, and the spray looks like a bridal veil. A trail beside the visitor center reaches the viewing platform in about 10 minutes. From there you can see the falls head-on from across the canyon, and red-and-green macaws often fly between the cliffs. The trail down to the base of the falls has been closed for a long time, and swimming is not allowed. Entry to the national park is free. The visitor center is generally open Tuesday to Sunday, but check ICMBio announcements for exact details. It is about 15 km from town, beside the MT-251 highway.
Opening hours
