Abrigo 1500

Abrigo 1500 is a private property located approximately 27 kilometers from the center of Urubici, in the Serra Catarinense region of Santa Catarina.

It serves as the main support base for visiting the Cachoeira Rio dos Bugres, an impressive waterfall that drops roughly 218 meters and is fed by springs originating in the Campo dos Padres highlands.

The road to the property has been recently repaved, making it accessible by standard vehicles. The facility offers camping, restrooms, and a viewpoint overlooking the waterfall and its sweeping valley.

A short trail of about 400 meters leads from Abrigo 1500 to a panoramic overlook with views of the full cascade. The property also features a suspended swing positioned near the canyon's edge.

Visitors can additionally arrange a personalized picnic with views of the waterfall.
