Caracol State Park encompasses over 100 hectares of preserved Atlantic Forest, centered on the iconic Caracol Falls. Beyond the waterfall, the park features well-marked hiking trails that wind through lush vegetation, picnic spots with tables and grills, and a cable car that glides over the canyon for panoramic views. It's a family-friendly destination for outdoor recreation, with interpretive signs about local flora and fauna. The park's cool climate and shaded paths make it a refreshing escape.
Don't miss
- Ride the cable car across the canyon for a bird's-eye view of the falls and forest
- Hike the Trilha do Mirante trail to a secondary viewpoint with fewer crowds
- Enjoy a picnic at designated areas with tables and grills surrounded by native trees
