About Cachoeira do Bizungo
The Cachoeira do Bizungo is located in Três Barras and combines a vertical drop and a rock face where rocks of different origins appear. The sandstone of the Formação Botucatu and the basalts of the Serra Geral meet in the waterfall's setting. This relationship gives the outing geological interest beyond observing the water.
The trail passes through vegetation and should be walked with a guide or local conductor. Confirm the meeting point, trail conditions and the approach to the fall on the day of the visit. Upon reaching the rock face, try to recognize the changes in the rock without touching or removing fragments. Bring water for the hike and stay on the indicated route, respecting the area's operation and the space needed for vegetation on the banks.
