Lajeado

Lajeado waterfall is about 6 km from Vila de São Jorge, in Chapada dos Veadeiros, in the same area as Raizama. It is a creek with three stops: a shallow pool, the main fall with a small beach, and a rock slide into the deepest pool.

The trail

From reception to the three spots is about 600 meters, a little over 1 km round trip, on a shaded, easy path. It suits families and anyone who wants a swim without using the whole day. The creek weakens in the dry season and, at the height of winter, the visit can close. Confirm before you leave.

How to get there

Follow GO-239 past São Jorge for about 2 km and turn left at the sign. Another 3 km of dirt is usually fine for an ordinary car. From Alto Paraíso the total is about 41 km.

Watch the name

There is another Lajeado in the Chapada Alta complex, northeast of Alto Paraíso. This one belongs to Vila de São Jorge. Entry is paid at reception.
