Cachoeira do Tabuleiro - Por Cima

Description

Located in the Parque Natural Municipal do Tabuleiro, in the Parque Estadual da Serra Geral do Intendente, and in the district of Tabuleiro, about 18 km from downtown Conceição do Mato Dentro, it is the tallest waterfall in Minas Gerais and the third tallest in Brazil. It has a 273 m free fall – the equivalent of a 91-story building, in front of a multicolored rock wall of great beauty. The high drop forms a large pool about 20 m deep, surrounded by boulders, some of them even submerged. The waterfall is in the Serra do Cipó region, south of the Serra do Espinhaço. The whole landscape of the Cachoeira do Tabuleiro, with the falls set amid the heart-shaped mountains, is stunningly beautiful!

Route

The 8 km hike is highly exposed to the weather - almost no shaded areas. There are places to refill water along the way, but not many. The hike has considerable ups and downs, so it is good to be physically fit and equipped with comfortable clothes and proper footwear. The upper part of the waterfall is full of beautiful spots, whether at the waterfall lookout, in the valley, or at its top. Every km along the trail there is a small sign showing the distance, and at km 8 you have to go along the riverbed. There are several red arrows painted on the rocks showing the right way, so there is no way to get lost. It is a beautiful trail and is part of the Travessia Lapinha x Tabuleiro.
