Itiquira falls
With 168 m, is the tallest waterfall in the Brazilian Central West. It lies within a protected area, Parque Municipal Itiquira. You cannot swim in the pit that forms just below this waterfall because the force of free fall of water is enormous. This offers a unique spectacle, worth to be seen. Just downstream, there are other wells with small waterfalls, very good for swimming. After the jump, the river forms a sequence of waterfalls, rapids and pools, covered by a dense forest. The park attracts many tourists from Brasilia (115 km). It has several mineral springs, and out of the park, a club with average infrastructure, restaurant, bars, cafeterias, camping, running water pools, hotel and chalets
Typical rural ambience, home-made quality food and products from Fazenda Estreito. Complete buffet with all the best options of Goiana and Mineira cuisines. Feijoada, pequi, lamb chops, oxtail, grilled goods, several types of pastries and salads with local made produce.
