Caracol Falls

Caracol Falls, or Cascata do Caracol, is a 426-foot (130 meter) waterfall about 4.35 miles (7.00 km) from Canela, Brazil in Caracol State Park (Parque do Caracol). It is formed by the Caracol River and cuts out of basalt cliffs in the Serra Geral mountain range, falling into the Vale da Lageana. Caracol Falls has long attracted visitors and is the second most popular natural tourist attraction in Brazil, trailing only Iguazu Falls. In 2009, it received more than 289,000 visitors. There is a nearby 100-foot observation tower that offers an elevator and a panoramic view, as well as a cable car that gives tourists an aerial view of the waterfall. The area also provides a restaurant and craft stalls.

A wonderful experience!

We had the most wonderful experience with Wendy. I felt super overwhelmed at the thought of planning a Disney world trip. Wendy made things seamless and stress free. She made sure to answer all my questions (sometimes multiple times if I forgot). Wendy always kept us in the loop, and gave us the biggest bang for our buck. I would highly recommend her services and I will most definitely use her expertise on our next vacation!"
