About Claro Complex
The Complexo do Claro is on a rural property beside the MG-464, about 7 km from Delfinópolis center, on the road to São João Batista do Glória. It was one of the first farms to open its waterfalls to visitors in the municipality and gathers five falls on the same watercourse.
The trail is self-guided and short, about 750 meters to the last point. It starts at Cachoeira do Tombo and continues through the waterfalls da Paz, da Gruta and do Tenebroso to Cachoeira Cidade das Pedras, among large rock blocks. The pools have clear water and the forest shades much of the route.
The property has parking, a restaurant and a camping area. Being close to town and not requiring a difficult road, it is often the first visit for newcomers to Delfinópolis. Entrance is charged at the farm gate.
