Important intersection with CAI signs to avoid mistakes in choosing the path, given the rich intersection where it is located, taking the wrong path here could mean not reaching the chosen destination.

A refuge with full amenities. Easy to reach, even for families. Nestled near the forest, the climate is always cool, even in summer, although humid, given the proximity of the river.

Fascinating waterfalls, varied in shape and size. They create a sound (which we mistakenly call noise) that allows you to forget your worries, and I dare say it's therapeutic. The trail to reach them is easy, but be careful not to slip due to the constant humidity.
