What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally find Cachoeira do Lajeado to be a beautiful spot with three refreshing cascades, perfect for a dip and enjoying nature. Its proximity to São Jorge makes it a convenient stop. However, some travelers express dissatisfaction with the privatization and access fees, and note that the paths could be better maintained.
"Just 20 minutes from São Jorge and around 50 minutes from Alto Paraíso, Lajeado Waterfalls features three stunning cascades—perfect for a fun and refreshing visit"
Rodrigo Rocha
"Access to the waterfall was closed the day I arrived so that’s all this rating applies to. The absurdity of privatizing an ecologically important attraction may speak more to the ineptness of the local, regional, and national government then the “business decisions” of these proclaimed gatekeepers. The common R$40 access fee to these waterfalls is more tiresome than the walk on the poorly manicured paths that they provide."
