Complexo Boqueirão

Verified

A new attraction (opened in 2023) in rural Cavalcante, about 75 km from the center, toward the village of São José, near the Tocantins border. It's a set of four or five crystal-clear emerald-green pools formed by the Rio Capivara among walls and rock formations, with a natural rock slide, a mini infinity edge, and spots to jump from. It's on private property, so entry is guide-only.

Entry

Before you go

Entry only with a guide (private property). A local guide costs around R$ 300–350 per day, so it's worth going in a group to split it. Official profile: @complexo_boqueirao.
Best in the dry season, May to October, when the water is clearer and the hot days make swimming more pleasant. The rocks are extremely slippery — there are reports of falls; take care when walking.
