About this experience

Corte do Cantagalo is the rock wall you see from the Lagoon. Paixão de Cris is a third-grade route with big holds, well-spaced bolts and plenty of double anchors, finishing at the top of the wall just below the concrete retaining structures. It's fun, quick and popular with people learning to lead.
