About this experience
The circuit leaves from Horto, next to the Botanical Garden, and climbs through the forest past the Chuveiro waterfall (known as the Box waterfall), several smaller falls and the Jequitibá waterfall. It's about 8 km and three hours of walking, with roots and rocks underfoot but nothing technical. You can swim in some of the pools. Vista Chinesa wraps up the route.
