About Cachoeira das Andorinhas
The Cachoeira das Andorinhas combines a waterfall and rocky cliffs in the interior of Apiúna. The landscape of vegetation and rock makes the site one of the municipality's natural highlights. Access should not be mistaken for a roadside stop at the water: the visit requires confirming where to enter and which hike is available. The waterfall's flow and ground conditions change after periods of rain.
Ask about entry authorization and the route before beginning the approach. To view the falls, remain at the designated viewpoints and choose footwear suitable for wet surfaces. Rappel, canyoning or swimming activities should only occur when they are permitted and conducted under the necessary conditions; observing the cachoeira already constitutes a visit.
