Reviews

Monkeys Waterfall, also known as Cachoeira dos Macacos, is a hidden gem easily accessible by a short trail starting from the popular Cachoeira do Escorrega. Reviewers highlight its spectacular setting in nature, cold and invigorating water perfect for cooling off, and the beautiful waterfall forming a small well at its base. The walk to the waterfall offers scenic views of the river and various landscapes along the way. Despite being less visited due to not being suitable for swimming, Monkeys Waterfall provides a delightful stop for contemplation and relaxation amidst dense forest.

(Translated by Google) Easy access from Cachoeira do Escorrega. Just go up the Park ramp until you find the sign for a 5-minute trail. The Waterfall is spectacular, in the middle of nature. A delight of place. It's worth the stop for contemplation and a cold, invigorating bath. Leave your car in a parking lot there in Maromba to go on your way. From Maringá-RJ to there is about 5.5KM or so. Many people walk as the road is terrible and full of potholes. But still, slowly, you get there fine! (Original) Fácil acesso a partir da Cachoeira do Escorrega. É só subir a rampa do Parque até encontrar a placa para uma trilha de 5 minutos. A Cachoeira é espetacular, em meio à natureza. Uma delicia de lugar. Vale a parada para contemplação e para um banho gelado e revigorante. Deixe seu carro em algum estacionamento ali em Maromba para ir caminho. De Maringá-RJ até lá dá uns 5,5KM mais ou menos. Muita gente vai andando já que a estrada tá sofrível e cheio de buraco até maromba. Mas ainda assim, devagar, se chega lá numa boa!

(Translated by Google) A more hidden waterfall with denser forest, located on a trail after Cachoeira do Escorrega (you have to go up a path after the park sign to reach the start of the trail). It is a spectacle, with a beautiful waterfall and from the trail you can see the course of the river with various landscapes. (Original) Cachoeira mais escondida com mata mais densa, que fica em uma trilha depois da Cachoeira do Escorrega (é subir um caminho depois da placa do parque para chegar ao início da trilha). Ela é um espetáculo, com uma queda d'água bonita e pela trilha é possível ver o trajeto do rio com várias paisagens.
