Cachoeira do Rosário
Pirenópolis's tallest free-fall waterfall, with a curtain of water about 42 metres high plunging into a deep pool. The site has a lookout and a farm-style restaurant.
The waterfall lies about 35 km north of town, roughly 25 km of paved road plus 10 km of dirt road. It drops about 42 metres, making it the tallest straight-drop waterfall in the area. The pool below is safe for swimming, and there are several smaller falls nearby as well as a viewing pool at the top. The site has trails and a restaurant serving Goiás farmhouse cooking. Tickets can only be bought in advance on the official website, with no sales at the entrance, and daily numbers are capped, so in peak season you should buy early. The dirt road includes fording sections, so drivers of small cars should be cautious. The coordinates come from a blog's GPS data and are estimates.
Opening hours
About 8:00 am–5:00 pm (book via official website)
