Cachoeira dos Cristais
A multi-tiered waterfall and natural swimming pool in Biribiri park, the most popular spot for a dip near the historic town.
Cachoeira dos Cristais lies within Biribiri State Park. Its stream tumbles down quartzite steps in a series of small cascades, with clear, deep pools below where locals often come on weekends to swim and picnic. Park beside the dirt road to Biribiri Village and walk about 10–15 minutes; the path is in fair condition. It is about 10 km from the historic town and is often combined in a single day with Biribiri Village and Cachoeira da Sentinela. Do not go into the water after rain, when the stream is in flood. Watch your step on slippery rocks, and take your rubbish with you.
