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.
Irene has been my “go to” person for travel for many years. Through her caring, friendly and excellent service, I have visited a number of countries including; Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Ireland, England, Scotland, Italy, Netherlands, Cyprus, Greece, New Zealand, and Martinique. She has also gotten me into many beautiful communities across Canada. She listens, provides options, and is always responsive to our requests. Anyone thinking of booking travel should seriously consider Irene, whom I highly recommend.
