    • We will leave Alto Paraíso at 7:30 towards the attraction: 58 km of road in our 4×4 vehicle, about 1:30 to 2:00 h
    • When we reach the parking area, we will walk a 2 km trail to the support point (where we leave dry clothes and backpacks and put on the wetsuit and water shoes); at this point you can have a snack.
    • After putting on the equipment (wetsuit, life jacket and helmet), we follow the trail along the riverbed: a total of 500 m walking in the riverbed and 450 m swimming through 3 amazing canyons.
    • The first canyon is about 100 m long, the second 150 m, and the third 200 m.
    • At the waterfall we spend a few minutes or hours taking it in and taking photos, and we visit the back of the waterfall, which has warmer water and a view unique in Chapada dos Veadeiros: a wonderful experience of connecting with nature in its essence.
    • After that we return along the river, crossing the canyons until we reach the support point again.
    • We take off the equipment (wetsuit, life jacket and helmet), the ideal moment for a heartier snack before the 2 km climb back to the car.
    • You can hire a quad bike service to go up to the parking area (ask for the price per person)
    • Expected return time to Alto Paraíso: 17:00
