About Rancho das Cachoeiras
Rancho das Cachoeiras brings together a nature route in the Serra do Caracol, in Andradas. The hike passes by three waterfalls identified as Toca das Andorinhas 2, Cachoeira do Vento and Cachoeira Três Quedas. They are visited as a set, with stretches of forest, rocks and water along the way. The idea is to walk between the stops and observe the differences of each waterfall, without turning a waterfall into an isolated outing. Arrange the visit and the entrance with the person responsible for the route before traveling to the rural area. Water volume and the possibility of entering the pools vary according to the day's conditions. Sturdy footwear helps on dirt and rock sections; bring water to drink and a bag that keeps your belongings dry during the walk.
