Cachoeira

Fazenda Montana

Verified

A private farm 45 km from Colinas do Sul, in the Vila Borba area, with two attractions: the Cachoeira Véu de Noiva (also called Cachoeira Montana), a ~15 m wall with the fall spread across its full width, a sandy beach, and a crystal-clear pool — plus a side flow of warm water considered thermal — and the Funil do Rio Preto, a gorge where the river runs between huge walls, with deep beaches and a mini-cave with rock paintings. Visits by booking only; there's rustic camping on the property.
