Cachoeirinha Lençóis is praised for its beautiful, crystal-clear waterfall and easy-to-access trails, making it a refreshing spot for all ages. However, some visitors have expressed frustration with aggressive guide solicitations and the quality of nearby food options.
"Easy trail but after paying entrance fee we were stopped by locals working in the park telling us we couldn’t walk the upper trail to the waterfall without a guide - they said they would call police if we continued so rather than cause problems we turned back. What a shame… obviously nothing to do with safety and everything to do with money. Don’t support this activity."

"You pay fee to enter the area but can only have access to a small area. The space seems open but you need to pay u$40 to a guide to walk pass the area. Not impressed."

"You pay 20R entrance and then they ask you +200R to get a guide.... Waste my day...."
