What to know before you go.
The local experience
One of the highest inhabited points in southern Brazil, at 1,822 meters, inside the Parque Nacional de São Joaquim, where some of the lowest temperatures in the country have been recorded. From there you see the Pedra Furada, a rock with an opening of about 13 by 6 meters.
Discover Morro da Igreja e Pedra Furada
A drop of about 100 meters with platforms on both sides, including a glass-floored viewpoint over the abyss. If you have the stamina, you can hike down the trail to the base, inside the forest.
A pass carved into the rock, with a cut about 90 meters high, linking Urubici to the southern coast. Glass platforms installed up top leave you suspended over the valley.
Discover Serra do Corvo Branco
A canyon in the Campo dos Padres area, above 1,500 meters, with steep cliffs and several waterfalls along the way. It draws people who enjoy hiking and horseback riding.
At 62 meters high, the falls slide over basalt formations at the foot of Morro da Igreja, in an eco-park that also includes the Namorados and Três Irmãs waterfalls. The main one is about 150 meters away on an easy walk, with wooden decks along the way.
