Destination: Complexo de Cachoeiras do Prata, Cavalcante
Two nearby bases among the guide’s seven towns and villages. Measured from the town center; walking trails are not included.
Routes checked on Google Maps; the distance varies with the route chosen.
Rio Prata is approximately 65 km from Cavalcante, a drive that on its own calls for setting aside plenty of time on the road. The complex is known for pools of very clear water, falls, rock slabs and paths through open vegetation, with strong sun exposure.
There are seven main spots: Pratinha, Três Marias, Cortina, Esmeralda, Passador or A5, Rei and Rainha. Morada do Sol, Vale de Marte and Príncipe appear as other names in the complex. Itineraries can combine different falls and pools.
The route to Rei do Prata is given as about seven kilometers. The greenish pool is one of the highlights in the dry season. Rainha requires extra effort and offers a view from above the valley, which should not be mistaken for easy access to swimming. Plan your return based on the farthest point you actually choose.
Between the fifth and sixth attractions there are camping and chalet options. Dinner and breakfast must be arranged in advance. Staying overnight can make the visit less rushed, but requires a booking and confirming which services are operating.
Confirm the entrance gate, local guide, lodging and road conditions.
Confirm the price and what is included when booking.
The historical range helps compare outings; it is not the current rate and does not necessarily include a guide or transportation.
Approximately 60 km of dirt road, with rough stretches, limited signage and a final section that is difficult for low-clearance cars. Consider a higher-clearance vehicle or local transportation and confirm access; this does not mean 4×4 is a permanent requirement.
About 7 km to Rei do Prata; the return and side trips to other spots need to be part of your planning.
The greenish pool is one of the highlights in the dry season.

The green markers show where to start the visit. Check each point’s type: a property reference marks the establishment, not the parking spot or the exact trailhead.
Reception
Start at the official entrance. Agree with the reception and the guide on which internal stretches can be driven; the waterfalls are farther ahead.
