Caracol Falls

Caracol Falls, or Cascata do Caracol, is a 426-foot (130 meter) waterfall about 4.35 miles (7.00 km) from Canela, Brazil in Caracol State Park (Parque do Caracol). It is formed by the Caracol River and cuts out of basalt cliffs in the Serra Geral mountain range, falling into the Vale da Lageana. Caracol Falls has long attracted visitors and is the second most popular natural tourist attraction in Brazil, trailing only Iguazu Falls. In 2009, it received more than 289,000 visitors. There is a nearby 100-foot observation tower that offers an elevator and a panoramic view, as well as a cable car that gives tourists an aerial view of the waterfall. The area also provides a restaurant and craft stalls.

EXCEPTIONAL CRUISE

I absolutely recommend Karrie Szabo as a travel agent. She is both professional and knowledgeable! She is gracious with her time and very willing to answer any and all questions. But more importantly, she anticipates questions and ensures that you have all of the required information upfront. She is personable, very accessible, and always ready to help, with a smile. Highly recommend!
