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.


Diane Ross from Kingsbridge Travel did an amazing job planning my honeymoon.

We toured Italy and France, and Diane truly did all the work. I would recommend Diane and Kingsbridge Travel to anyone and everyone who is looking to plan a trip abroad. Without her, so much unnecessary stress would have been added during the trip. Book with a travel agent... there's no need to handle it on your own because you will forget something. Thanks Diane for everything!
