Indescribable beauty of nature

Unparalleled place with indescribable beauty, admire nature and bathe in the San Francisco river. It's far away, but it's worth it!

Fantastic experience

Wonderful walk! Amazing landscape, a bath break in the immense San Francisco River and a brief immersion in the cave. We made the Canions ride with Lucas on a flying boat, with boatman David. We recommend! Lucas's contact is 08287545472. And he also that indicated me other good professionals to do tours that he did not do. Excellent!

Imperdible!!!

Wonderful place, with direct contact with nature. The scheme beats and turns is exhausting and talking afterwards with those who spent the night in the city, I saw that maybe this could be an excellent option. Imperdible!!

very tired

The dogs are beautiful. It's not all they say, but it's beautiful. If you are in a nearby city, it is worth seeing. However, if you go to go from Aracaju, knock back, it's not worth it. The trip, although it takes 3 hours, takes at least 4 hours by car (if you catch little movement). If you go with the buses of tourism companies, it takes more than 5 hours. So, in my opinion, it's not worth the walk, to stay 3 hours away and 10 hours on the road. There are other walks of Aracaju and as beautiful as the dogs. It's my opinion
