Varzeas Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Impressive waterfalls with several pools, accessible with a bit of climbing. Some climbing aids have been anchored into the rock. However, since the waterfall is located near a road, you're rarely alone here. And there have been fatalities here, as the climb down to the lagoons is not without its dangers.
