It is 28 km from the town of Ibicoara, and the trail there passes other beautiful waterfalls, such as Buracãozinho, the Orquídeas Waterfall and the Recanto Verde Waterfall. The Buracão Waterfall drops 85m and sits at the end of a narrow canyon corridor with huge rock walls and cold, dark, foamy water. It's a stunning, grand sight.
