Itaimbezinho Canyon (Aparados da Serra NP)
Cânion Itaimbezinho
The most famous canyon in southern Brazil, with 700-meter basalt cliffs and waterfalls plunging to the valley floor.
The canyon is near the town of Cambará do Sul. Within the national park, the Vértice Trail and the Cotovelo Trail run along the cliff edges, offering views of the Twin Falls and a canyon about 720 meters deep. Nearby Serra Geral National Park also features the broader Fortaleza Canyon. The park is closed on Mondays and on some public holidays, and admission requires a ticket. The mountain area is often foggy, so clear days are best for visiting. It is about 80 km from Gramado and is usually visited on a day tour.
