Destination: Sertão Zen parking area and trailhead
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 ↗Sertão Zen is a walk of approximately eighteen kilometers in total, crossing high-altitude grasslands and landscapes added to the National Park in the 2017 expansion. It starts with a steep climb; after that, the terrain runs through grassland vegetation, rock outcrops and areas sensitive to foot traffic.
The route avoids wet grasslands: shortcuts opened by visitors can degrade areas that look resilient but take a long time to recover. The reference to “arnica” should be understood as a common name for local plants, not as automatically identifying the European species Arnica montana.
A small waterfall of about six meters and a caramel-toned pool come before views of a much larger waterfall, estimated at 150 meters. Walking to the view does not mean you can swim at every spot. Some stretches have no cell signal; walk with a guide and proper means of navigation.
Access status: formally confirm the authorized itinerary and the required guiding with the National Park. The existence of old visit reports does not prove it is currently open.
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.
About 2 km of dirt road between the paved town streets and the parking area. Arrange the authorized starting point with your guide and confirm conditions for low-clearance cars.
Approximately 18 km in total, with a steep climb at the start.
The existence of old visit reports does not prove it is currently open. Formally confirm the authorized itinerary and the required guiding with the National Park.
