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.

Helped us to the end

When our cruise ship lost power and we were told we were going to miss out on all of New Zealand, who did we call .. Terry! And once again he came through for us and worked around the clock (as there was an 18 hour time difference) to put together an amazing travel plan that helped make our dreams come true! Not only did he help us plan our entire trip he stuck with us right to the end...
