Complexo de várias quedas e piscinas no Rio dos Couros, com quedas de até ~100 m e uma 'borda infinita' debruçada sobre o vale, dentro do Parque Estadual de Alto Paraíso (PEAP). Entrada gratuita — no estacionamento pede-se contribuição voluntária. Pela regra da Semad, o acesso é em grupos de até 6 pessoas acompanhados de condutor local.
A series of natural pools and rock slides in warm-ish water among the cerrado. A playful spot, great for a full day with the family.
The giant falls of the National Park: Salto I plunges ≈120 m. A long, self-guided trail with lookouts and a swimming pool below the second drop.
The "Complexo das Lajes" doesn't exist as a separately cataloged attraction: the name refers to the Córrego das Lajes and Fazenda Lages, on the GO/TO border, which together with the Córrego Canjica form the well-known Complexo Águas Lindas e Canjica. It's a set of waterfalls, canyons, and infinity-edge pools set into rock slabs, with turquoise and emerald water. It sits on Kalunga land, about 75 km from Cavalcante by dirt road, with a guide required.
The Chapada's postcard shot: transparent turquoise-blue water over a pool that looks like a natural swimming pool. It sits on Kalunga land (Engenho II) and visitor access is controlled.
It plunges off the Serra do Segredo in a very tall curtain of water into a spectacular pool. The trail crosses the Rio São Miguel and the Rio Segredo several times.
Rock carved by the Rio São Miguel over millions of years, forming craters and pools that look like the surface of the Moon. A short, easy trail.
A set of seven emerald-green pools linked by small falls. Flat and easy — good for kids and older visitors.
A wide ≈50 m drop with the Morro da Baleia in the background. On Fazenda São Bento, between Alto Paraíso and São Jorge.
Next door to Santa Bárbara, in Engenho II. Two rivers meet in a single pool, with a short, easy final trail. Far less crowded than its famous neighbor.
