Mampituba Waterfalls 4x4 Tour and Hike

In this hiking route through the Mampituba waterfalls, we'll go to the most famous waterfalls of Rio Grande do Sul aboard a 4x4 vehicle.

Description

At your selected time, we'll meet at the Sítio Cultural Museu da Estância, where we'll begin our 4x4 tour of Mampituba and its waterfalls.

We'll start by traversing an area of forests and banana trees before reaching our first stop. Here, we'll embark on a 1.6-kilometre (1 mile) hiking trail to the Leite waterfall, located next to the Itaimbezinho Canyon, cascading into a natural pool.

Next, we'll return to the 4x4 to continue through the landscapes of Mampituba to the second stop. This stop features another hiking trail, approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 miles), culminating in the Cipó waterfall.

At this waterfall, near the border of Rio Grande do Sul/Santa Catarina, you'll have about 20 minutes to take a refreshing dip. The pleasant weather in this area of southern Brazil makes this bath a relaxing break from the hike.

Finally, we'll walk back to the trailhead, where the 4x4 vehicle will be waiting to take us back to Mampituba, scheduled to arrive approximately 2 hours after pickup.
