Cachoeira dos Dragões
Complexo Cachoeira dos Dragões
A waterfall complex about 30 km north of town. Guides lead you through canyons and streams to seven or eight different waterfalls in a day, making it ideal for hikers.
The Dragon Waterfalls park lies in a valley on the north side of the GO-338 highway. It comprises around eight waterfalls, all named after dragons, such as 'Dragon Cloud' and 'Dragon's Tears'. Visits must be led by a park guide. The route covers several kilometres, involving wading, scrambling and walking over slippery rocks. The required fitness level is moderate to high, and there are several pools for swimming. Some sections offer activities such as rappelling. Admission includes the guide, and advance booking is recommended. Bring non-slip shoes and water.
