Cordovil has a drop of approximately 25 meters, falling into a pool of cold, greenish water. The indicated route from the parking area is about 1.3 km, with rocks on the approach. Under certain light conditions, in the afternoon you can see rainbows in the spray of the falls.

The contrast between the rock wall, the vegetation and the clarity of the pool is the heart of the experience. The rocks and the depth call for care when getting into and out of the water.
