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.
Outstanding service
Linda and her team have booked numerous Four Seasons stays for me over the last several years, which entitles me to the Four Seasons preferred partner benefits. Linda is proactive, very knowledgeable and outstanding to work with! She has been incredibly responsive every time I've worked with her; my last booking was truly last minute, so her ultra-responsive, friendly approach was especially appreciated! I recommend her very highly.
