About six kilometers from São Jorge, Fazenda Volta da Serra combines waterfalls, lodging and rural activities. Together with Fazenda Mata Funda and Morro do Buracão, the property forms a conservation belt linked to the headwaters of the São Miguel. Tourism coexists with coffee production, honey and beekeeping, plus a small shop.
The circuits vary in length and parking point. Do not automatically add up the distances to each pool as if they all started from the same gate. When planning, choose the available route and confirm whether getting around inside the property will be on foot or by vehicle.
The attractions described at the farm are Cachoeira do Cordovil, Cachoeira do Encontro, Poço das Esmeraldas, Rodeador and Cachoeira São Miguel (formerly Caminho da Lua).

- Take care on the access roadThere is a rural or dirt stretch, uneven ground, a long drive or incomplete information about the vehicle needed. This does not mean 4×4 is required.
Getting there by car
It's 1.7 km of dirt road from GO-239 to the entrance gate and another 6 km to the main parking area: 7.7 km in total. Confirm conditions for your car and after rain. Cachoeira São Miguel has a separate entrance.
When to go
Each circuit has its own conditions. Rodeador depends especially on the dry season; confirm it is open when booking.
