Sossego Waterfall Trail + Middle Stream
One of the most beautiful (and challenging) trails in the region. The path combines sections through the forest, crossing the riverbed, and a significant amount of walking over rocks. The Sossego Waterfall maintains a good volume of water year-round and arrives as a reward after the final, more technical section inside the canyon. On the way back, the Ribeirão do Meio offers a relaxing swim—and the famous natural waterslide.
📍 Main attractions:
• Sossego Waterfall: A large pool inside a canyon, great for swimming.
• Ribeirão do Meio: A natural waterslide and a large area for rest and swimming.
