Destination: Macaquinhos entrance
Two nearby bases among the guide’s seven towns and villages. Measured from the town center; walking trails are not included.
Road estimates: OSRM / OpenStreetMap. Maps may suggest a different route.
Access source ↗Macaquinhos, formerly known as Santuário das Pedras, brings together a sequence of approximately ten falls and pools along the watercourse that flows into the Rio Macaco. The walk follows the river and lets you notice changes in terrain, volume and depth along the circuit.
Cachoeira do Encontro, formed where the Rio Macaquinhos joins the Córrego Fundão, is among the highlighted spots, with deep pools and greenish water. Caverna combines water and a rock cavity; Luz, Poço do Jump and Sereno round out the names remembered. Banho Pelado is an area associated with naturism: confirm the current rule and respect privacy, without photographing people without their consent.
The name Poço do Jump and reports of jumps do not represent a recommendation to jump. Permissions and depth vary, and submerged rocks may not be visible. Use the entry points indicated by the person in charge.
The road access has a final descent that requires attention. Roadwork or road improvements may change this condition, but they do not guarantee passage in every season. Include the extra distance on foot in your total effort if the vehicle cannot reach the entrance gate.
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.
Long rural road with rocks and descents, especially difficult for low-clearance cars on the final stretch. There have been improvements on steep ramps, but confirm whether your car should stay in the upper parking lot or can reach the entrance gate, especially after rain.
Low-clearance cars may need to park about 900 m before the entrance gate. That walk adds to the distance of the waterfall circuit.
The condition of the final descent varies with rain and maintenance. Confirm the recommended parking for your vehicle.
Current rule for Banho Pelado (an area associated with naturism); condition of the road’s final descent and where to park; water entry points indicated by the person in charge.
The name Poço do Jump and reports of jumps do not represent a recommendation to jump: permissions and depth vary, and submerged rocks may not be visible. Use the entry points indicated by the person in charge. Respect privacy at Banho Pelado and do not photograph people without their consent.
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.
Parking
Point listed as entrance and parking area. Confirm at the reception where to leave the car, depending on conditions on the final descent.
