This entrance provides access to two main attractions, the Farofa waterfall and the Bandeirinhas canyon, a total of 29km of route - consider cycling, the trails do not offer secondary attractions and the sun is scorching. On the 2nd day we got lost (there is little signage) and were unable to see the Capão dos Palmitos waterfall, which they say is pleasant. I found the lagoons on the way to the Retiro entrance unattractive, in my opinion they are not worth the trip.

Natural reserve with a biome between desertic and forest. Beautiful waterfall. Be aware that the points of interests are several Km aparts and you might need more than one day to visit all. Be safe when going there by car, the roads are poor quality.

Very cool park with lots of recreative options! Mountain biking, mountain climbing, hiking, sightseeing, just to namea few. Well, I went there as a volunteer wildfire fighter, to help keep the views and trails, fauna and flora for people to see & consciously enjoy!

Very good! There you can track or bike with your friends, the tracking is not hard, so even children can go! The waterfalls are amazing!

It is a beautiful place where you can find peace. I recommend it.

It was a great place for hiking, biking and enjoying the waterfalls in the park.

Show

A good hike about 7kms to get the place. Was really cold water so difficult to enter, but still worth it. Free entry in the park but need to enter early to avoid getting restricted

Amazing waterfall, must see!! If you need a guide to get you here, search for cipotrails on Google!

Realy good for relax time

top!

Very good

Very good

Love it

The entrance (Apr25) was 50 reais per person, it has a restaurant arriving outside of the site and one on site also, and afterwards still requires a bit of a hike under the sun, so definitely take water with you, because it's private it even has a lifeguard. Very doable with kids. One star less because of the price.

One of the most beautiful waterfall I have ever been, 30 reais is the entrance price which gives you access to 2 different waterfalls.

Nice place but would be nice if they had some life jackets to enable novice swimmers

One of the best paid waterfalls in the area! Pristine beauty, great for swimming!

Beautiful place!

(Translated by Google) The place is very beautiful. Easy trail. It's 12 kilometers. It's better to rent a bike. It costs 80 reais. Entrance to the park is free (Original) Muito lindo o lugar. Trilha fácil. São 12 quilômetros. É melhor alugar uma bike. Custa 80 reais. A entrada do parque é gratuita

(Translated by Google) Simply exceptional! The trail starts at Serra do Cipó National Park, at the Areias entrance. Entrance to the park is free and there you can rent a bike (we paid 80 reais per person). The trail is 24km (round trip). We were told that walking would take around 6 hours, 3 hours to go and 3 hours to come back. We went by bike, since I'm not very good at walking we went slowly and it took us 1h30, but if you're good at walking you should get there in 40min-1h. At the end of the bike trail, you cross a river and continue on foot for about 20 minutes to the canyon. The water is crystal clear, the landscape is beautiful and there are shallower parts and deeper pools. It's worth taking diving goggles, there are lots of fish there, small and medium-sized. It's really worth it and I can't wait to do it again ❤️ (Original) Simplesmente excepcional! A trilha começa pelo Parque Nacional Serra do Cipó, pela entrada areias. Entrada do parque é gratuita e lá você pode alugar uma bicicleta (pagamos 80 reais por pessoa). A trilha é 24km (ida e volta), fomos informados que andando leva-se em torno de 6 horas andando, 3 para ir e 3 para voltar. Fomos de bike, como eu não ando tão bem fomos devagar e levamos 1h30, mas se você anda bem, deve chegar em 40min-1h. Ao finalizar o trajeto de bike, você atravessa um rio e continua a pé por +/- 20 minutos até o cânion. A água é muito cristalina, paisagem linda e há partes mais rasas e poços mais fundos. Vale a pena levar óculos de mergulho, há muitos peixes por ali, pequenos e médios. Vale muito a pena e já não vejo a hora de poder repetir ❤️

(Translated by Google) The Bandeirinhas Canyon is located in the Serra do Cipó National Park. Entrance is free and accessible through the Areias Entrance. The trail is long, a total of 24km round trip, but it's completely flat. Bike rentals are available at the entrance for those who prefer to cycle the trail. This is a typical and even common formation in this region of the Espinhaço Mountains, with stunning beauty. (Original) O Cânion das Bandeirinhas está localizado no Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó. A entrada é gratuita e feita pela Portaria Areias. A trilha é longa , total de 24km com ida e volta , mas uma trilha totalmente plana . Na portaria a aluguel de bike para quem preferir fazer a trilha pedalando. Trata-se de uma formação típica e até comum nessa região da Serra do Espinhaço, com uma beleza impressionante.

(Translated by Google) Average of 12km to go plus 12km to return, totaling 24km of trail I consider it difficult Access with many rocks, I do not recommend it for those who are not used to it, children, elderly people or people with mobility problems. There is an option to rent bicycles for 80.00 per person. (Original) Média de 12km para ir mais 12km para voltar totalizando 24km de trilha Considero difícil Acesso com muitas pedras não recomendo para quem não tem costume, crianças, idosos ou pessoas com problemas de locomoção. Tem opção de aluguel de bicicletas 80,00 por pessoa.

(Translated by Google) Magical place, but long, it's 24 km round trip. The trail is very flat and without difficulties, there are shady spots and streams to cross. The trail is well signposted, there is the option of renting bikes and also taking a carriage, which helps a lot lol. Entrance through the Areias Gate of the Serra do Cipó National Park, free entry and parking, not to mention the Park staff who are extremely helpful and prepared. It's worth knowing!!! (Original) Lugar mágico, porém longo, são 24 kms ida e volta. A trilha é bem plana e sem dificuldades, tem pontos de sombra e riachos para atravessar. Trilha bem sinalizada, tem opção de alugar bikes e tbm ir de charrete, o que ajuda muito kkkk. Entrada pela Portaria Areias do Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó, entrada gratuita e tem estacionamento, sem falar na equipe do Parque que são extremamente solícitos e preparados. Vale a pena conhecer!!!

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful place. We went by bike and it was super easy, the path is long and the sand is soft. I recommend sunscreen, and there are few places with shade. (Original) Lugar bonito de mais, fomos de bicicleta e é super de boa, caminho longo e com areia fofa. Recomendo protetor solar poucos locais com sombra.

(Translated by Google) It's a magical place!! Nature and a lot of beautiful places to take photos!! I went through the sandy entrance to the park, perfect service, parking and bike for rent, there is, to the canyon take a long bike and go early as parts of it are in the forest which darkens the path but nothing difficult. Remember, only walk on the trails and don't leave your trash behind, help keep this park as trash-free as possible because it is beautiful!! The waters are crystal clear!!! And have fun safely!! (Original) E um lugar mágico!! Natureza e muito lugar bonito para tirar fotos!! Fui pela entrada areias do parque, atendimento perfeito, estacionamento e bike por aluguel, há, para o canion vá de bike a trha e longa e vá cedo pois partes dela é em mata que escurece o caminho mas nada difícil. Lembrando, ande apenas nas trilhas e não deixe seu lixo para trás, ajude a manter este parque o maximo sem lixo pois ele é lindo!! As águas são cristalinas!!! E divirta-se com segurança!!

(Translated by Google) I took a quad bike tour with stand up paddle with Rodrigo. As for the quad bike ride, I see people complaining here about the speed during the ride, I believe it is due to a fault on both parties. The guide unconsciously follows at a speed that he deems comfortable, however, in view of a person who has never driven a quad bike, especially on a dirt road, he can be considered high. The guide monitors the distance between him and those being guided in the rearview mirror. I believe that amateurs who do not have experience and are afraid should impose a lower speed, forcing the guide to reduce speed. It's just a question of suitability. My experience with guide Rodrigo was great. Both tours were incredible, it's a shame that the river had murky waters that day. I give 4 stars, as there was no life jacket, due to a communication failure between Rodrigo and his team partners. (Original) Fiz um passeio de quadriciclo com stand up paddle com Rodrigo. Quanto ao passeio de quadriciclo, vejo pessoas reclamando aqui sobre a velocidade durante o passeio, acredito que seja devido a uma falha de ambas as partes. O guia inconscientemente segue em uma velocidade em que ele julga confortável, porém, em vista de uma pessoa que nunca guiou um quadriciclo, especialmente em via de terra pode ser considerada alta. O guia fica monitorando pelo retrovisor a distância entre ele e os guiados. Creio que a pessoa amadora que não tenha experiência e tenha receio, deve impor uma velocidade menor forçando o guia a diminuir a velocidade. É uma questão de adequação apenas. Minha experiência com o guia Rodrigo foi ótima. Os dois passeios foram incríveis, pena que o rio no dia estava com as águas turvas. Aplico 4 estrelas, pois faltou colete salva vidas, devido uma falha de comunicação entre o Rodrigo e seus parceiros de equipe.

(Translated by Google) Total disregard for the customer and we paid for a quad bike ride, throughout the entire journey Rodrigo was ignorant. My mother had an accident, she was unconscious and he didn't even worry, much less provide assistance. He was just worrying about material goods. I always go to Serra do Cipó, but I know one thing I will never go on any trip with them again. (Original) Total descaso com o cliente e pagamos um passeio de quadriciclo, durante todo o percurso Rodrigo estava ignorante. Minha mãe sofreu acidente, ficou inconciente e ele nem se quer se preocupou, muito menos prestou assistência. Só estava se preocupando com bens materias. Sempre vou a serra do cipó, mas de uma coisa eu sei nunca mais farei qualquer passeio com eles.

(Translated by Google) I agreed on a kayak trip to the large waterfall with the company and they didn't deliver. Upon arriving at the location at the scheduled time, I was informed that the tour would not take place on the day and time, that there was another kayak tour scheduled that was more expensive and had no vacancies. Disappointing. (Original) Acordei um passeio de caiaque na cachoeira grande com a empresa e eles não cumpriram. Ao chegar no local no horário marcado fui informado que o passeio não ia acontecer para o dia e horário, que existia um outro passeio de caiaque agendado mais caro e sem vagas. Decepcionante.

(Translated by Google) Horrible. I took a quad bike tour and the guide thought we were professionals, riding at high speed, very irresponsible. We had an accident and the company did not provide any assistance. I had to get my car in the city and go after the military police to help provide assistance. I will never take a tour with this company again. (Original) Horrível. Fiz um passeio a quadriciclo e o guia estava pensado que fôssemos profissionais, andando em alta velocidade, muito irresponsável. Sofremos um acidente e a empresa não prestou nenhum atendimento. Precisei buscar meu carro na cidade e ir atrás da polícia militar para ajudarem a prestar socorro. Nunca mais faço passeio com essa empresa.

(Translated by Google) Total disregard for the customer. We booked and paid for a kayak trip in advance and no one showed up. I had to return to the location to be reimbursed. I spent more than 30 minutes waiting for them in the middle of the forest. (Original) Total descaso com o cliente. Marcamos e pagamos adiantado um passeio de caiaque e ninguém apareceu. Tive que retornar a o local para ser ressarcido. Fiquei mais de 30min esperando eles no meio da mata.

(Translated by Google) Sensational experience. I highly recommend the tours. (Original) Experiência sensacional. Recomendo muito os passeios.

(Translated by Google) 3 unforgettable boat tour (Original) paseio d3 barco 8nesquecivel

A lovely place. Swimming at the big waterfall was a lot of fun. Rocks we're a bit slippery but it was great on a warm day. Expensive but well maintained. That being said, we were told the price was because there was a lifeguard there to watch over us. We never saw him. I don't think there actually was one.

Great place to come to relax and have a day out with friends or family. The price is quite expensive R$30 each, so plan to spend the whole day. Bring your swimming gear as it's a good place to swim. Also bring a picnic but no BBQ's or alcohol.

This waterfall is on a private place, you must pay to enter. There are several waterfalls.in this parc but only Cahoera Grande is worth the view.

Nice enough, but R$50 per person! and you have to fill in a form and have your bags checked to go in, more security than at the airport! Just to go into the state park, which has bigger and better waterfalls, for FREE and not bother with this place and it's greedy owners. How can they charge R$50 when the Sanctuario do Caraça, which is thousands of times larger and far more beautiful charge only R$25! Daylight robbery. I see some people here saying that if there was no entrance fee and it was not public it would be a mess. Well go look in the State Park, it is free and well kept and the staff are very friendly and helpful, not like the grumpy trio when we arrived, who did not even say good morning!

Great place to relax. Theres no much pele during weekdays. Great. Worth every coin

(Translated by Google) I visited there yesterday, very beautiful, the place paid a fee to enter there, 15R$, but I recommend choosing a day when the waters are high, there will be a waterfall and more options for swimming, there are certain places that you have to take long trails to access (Original) Visitei lá ontem muito lindo o lugar paguei uma taxa pra entrar lá 15R$ mas recomendo escolher um dia que as águas estiverem em cheia aí vai ter cachoeira e mais opções para nadar tem certos locais que tem que fazer trilhas longas para acessar

They lied to us saying that bicycles are available when they didn't have any. They made us wait for an hour for non-existing bikes.

(Translated by Google) The quad bike route was well chosen, but it needs more dirt and takes longer. For the price, it would be better to ride a little longer, stopping for 10 minutes and choosing stopping points for photos with a more panoramic feel. Other than that, it went well and we enjoyed it. (Original) Percurso moto 4 bem.escolhido mas falta mais terra e duracao maior. Pelo preço preferivel andar mais um pouco paragens de 10 minutos e escolher pontos de paragem para foto com mais sensacao mais panoramico. Fora isso correu bem e deu pra curtir.

Before starting the tour, I received all the instructions and training regarding the operation of the vehicle, and was guided on how to drive safely. Everything went as expected and I found it very worthwhile. (Original) Fiz o passeio de quadriciclo e super recomendo. Antes de iniciar o passeio, recebi todas as instruções e treinamento em relação ao funcionamento do veículo, sendo orientado sobre como pilotar em segurança.

(Translated by Google) Terrible experience! We rented two ATVs on July 26, 2025, and one of them was already defective, completely out of alignment! During the trip, my friend lost control because of this, and the ATV ended up going off the road and into a hole. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but upon returning, the owner was extremely rude and impolite, and even charged us R$250.00 for the accident—even though the problem was with the equipment! Absolutely absurd! I absolutely do not recommend it! Bad faith and a complete disregard for customer safety. (Original) Péssima experiência! Alugamos dois quadriciclos no dia 26/07/25 e um deles já estava com defeito, completamente desalinhado! Durante o trajeto, meu amigo perdeu o controle por causa disso e o quadriciclo acabou jogando para fora da estrada e caindo no buraco. Graças a Deus ninguém se feriu, mas ao retornar, o proprietário foi extremamente mal educado e grosseiro, e ainda nos cobrou R$ 250,00 pelo acidente — sendo que o problema já era do equipamento! Um verdadeiro absurdo! Não recomendo de forma alguma! Má fé e total descaso com a segurança dos clientes.

(Translated by Google) A very good experience. Excellent service. The tour is short but well worth it. (Original) Uma experiência muito boa. Excelente atendimento. O passeio é um porco curto mas vale muito a pena.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place. This is the second time I've been here. It feels like home. Everything is brand new, very clean and very well taken care of. Perfect location It's in the center but on a very quiet street. Delicious breakfast. The owners are very nice and attentive Special attention to Heloísa who takes care of the guesthouse. She's a lovely person. She does everything to make us feel at home. I highly recommend it!!! (Original) Lugar maravilhoso. Ja é a 2a vez que venho. A sensação é de estar em casa.

(Translated by Google) The guesthouse is well located, small but very comfortable. We were well received. The pool is heated and has a sauna. The chalets are quite large, I missed a stove and a microwave. The shower is exceptional, very hot and strong water, it looks like a waterfall. The road is dirt but don't be scared, it is very close to the main street. (Original) A pousada é bem localizada, pequena mas bem confortável. Fomos bem recebidos no local.

(Translated by Google) The inn looks abandoned. We were greeted by a polite lady, but the only time she was seen was at check-in and breakfast. The pool's hot tub and waterfall are never turned on, and nothing is served at the "inn." We booked the most expensive suite, which seemed like the best, and we couldn't sleep at all. A couple next door made a lot of noise all night, dragging a chair across the balcony, etc. Since there's no staff or rules, it was terrible. We were also scared, because imagine if these people decided to do something more serious? The place has no security whatsoever, and the breakfast was awful. The only saving grace was the cheese bread, which is from the supermarket, but there were very few of them, so I ended up having a snack downtown. Few options, bad cake, terrible juice, and the coffee was beyond reproach. One of the worst inns I've been to in Serra Cipó, which I visit a lot. (Original) A pousada está com aspecto de abandono, fomos recebidos por uma senhora bem educada,mas a única vez que foi vista foi no check in e no café. A hidro e cascata da piscina nunca são ligadas,não servem nada na "pousada". Pegamos a suíte mais cara que parecia ser a melhor, e não conseguimos dormir nada. Um casal do lado fez barulho a madrugada inteira, arrastando uma tal cadeira na sacada e etc.. como não tem funcionário ou regras,foi terrível. Ficamos com medo também ,pq imagina se essas pessoas resolvem fazer algo mais sério? Local sem segurança alguma, o café um horror. Oque salvou foi os pães de queijo que são de supermercado mas tinha bem poucos, acabei lanchando no centrinho . Poucas opções,bolo ruim,suco terrível e o café sem comentários. Uma das piores pousadas que conheci na Serra Cipó ue vou bastante.
