Guardião

Guardião waterfall is in Vão do Moleque, Kalunga land in Cavalcante, Chapada dos Veadeiros. The fall closes a canyon of the Curriola River. The pool is blue and deep, with a slab that works as a jump. Almost the whole trail is in the river.

The trail

It is about 3 km each way, 6 km round trip, on wet rock at the bottom of the canyon. Sun reaches the fall roughly between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Outside the dry season the volume rises and the tour closes because of flash-flood risk.

How to get there

From Cavalcante it is about 70 km on GO-241, dirt the whole way. A 4x4 is the vehicle for this tour. The guide is Kalunga and the ticket belongs to the community, separate from the guide's day rate.
