Caracol Falls

Caracol Falls, or Cascata do Caracol, is a 426-foot (130 meter) waterfall about 4.35 miles (7.00 km) from Canela, Brazil in Caracol State Park (Parque do Caracol). It is formed by the Caracol River and cuts out of basalt cliffs in the Serra Geral mountain range, falling into the Vale da Lageana. Caracol Falls has long attracted visitors and is the second most popular natural tourist attraction in Brazil, trailing only Iguazu Falls. In 2009, it received more than 289,000 visitors. There is a nearby 100-foot observation tower that offers an elevator and a panoramic view, as well as a cable car that gives tourists an aerial view of the waterfall. The area also provides a restaurant and craft stalls.

Michelle Took Care of Everything!

I’m not very good with words, but I wanted to share how much I appreciated Michelle arranging my recent trip. She took care of everything for me — from picking the perfect seats on my flights to arranging wheelchair assistance so I could get through the airports without any stress. It made such a big difference and took all the worry out of travelling. I felt completely looked after. Thank you, Michelle, for making my trip so easy and comfortable.
