What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the stunning beauty of Cachoeira do Saltão, particularly its impressive 75-meter waterfall and dramatic canyon. The park offers good facilities, including camping and pools, making it a pleasant day-trip destination. However, some find the entrance fee a bit high for the relatively short and easy hikes, especially if only visiting for the waterfalls.
"Very beautiful waterfalls. The hikes are more of a walk, but for some people that may be exactly what you want. The price is a bit expensive for such a short hike. If you're just going for the day for the two waterfall hikes, I think the price should be lower."
