It is a very varied hike that is a lot of fun! In between there are always rocky passages and the absolute highlight is of course Poço Azul - make sure you bring your swimsuit!

If the parking spaces are occupied you can follow the hiking trail over the small bridge. In the following bend there is another parking lot.

Super nice natural swimming pool. The water is wonderfully clear and quite cold even in summer. In the afternoon there were a lot of locals and tourists for a swim, but a very relaxed atmosphere.

The hike begins at the Cascada do Arado. From there it's just under two hours with a few photo breaks. We were there alone in the morning. The path is not signposted, good for those who have Komoot.
