Cachoeirinha & Cachoeira dos Namorados

Mato Grosso & Mato Grosso do Sul


These two gentle, pretty waterfalls are reached via a 1km trail from the carpark at Véu de Noiva. They are very popular with local families as they have safe bathing for children and the closest beach is a thousand miles away.
