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.

Stress-free vacation!

What a relief it was to have Susan ready to handle problems when there was a threat of an airline strike while I was on vacation. One of the many benefits of a great travel agent! I appreciated Susan’s research, status updates and responsive communication. I knew that if my flight was affected by a strike that she would have my back, which enabled me to have a great, stress-free vacation. Always the goal!
