About Cachoeira do Zelindo
Cachoeira do Zelindo is part of the Serra da Pedra landscape, in the interior of Jacinto Machado. The name is tied to the property of Zelindo Ronsani, where the waterfall is located. The surroundings combine vegetation and agricultural areas, and the water follows the rocky escarpment of the Serra Geral.
Because the visit takes place on private land, the first step is to arrange entry with the person in charge. Confirm the access from the road to the waterfall and whether there will be accompaniment on the hike. Soil and water conditions should be considered when choosing the day. During the visit, observe the shape of the rock face and the vegetation without taking unauthorized paths. The return should also follow the agreed route, protecting both the natural area and the property's operation.
