Pedrão
Pedrão
Cachoeira do Pedrão is one of the most sought-after attractions on the Rio Cipó, in the Serra do Cipó region of Minas Gerais.
It is known for easy access and free entry, with a trailhead near Venda do Zeca and only about 500 meters of walking to reach the river.
The site features a canyon setting where the bold can jump from the Pedrão rock formation, and continuing upstream reveals additional pools and smaller waterfalls suitable for swimming.
Its accessibility and no-fee entry draw large crowds, particularly on hot days, weekends, and holidays. Overcrowding has raised environmental concerns, and on-site parking typically involves a voluntary fee.
Visitors are encouraged to pack out all trash and respect the natural surroundings, as oversight is shared among state and federal environmental agencies.
