Go to the CAT first. Local transportation to the trail and the walk are separate and must be arranged with the Kalunga guide.
Four fixed bases: Vila Infinito and the centers of São Jorge, Alto Paraíso de Goiás and Cavalcante. Routes measured on Google Maps where available; where the route passes through a measured base, the leg to it is added; the rest are OSRM / OpenStreetMap estimates. Where no distance is shown, the link opens the route on Google Maps. Walking trails are not included.
Routes checked on Google Maps; the distance varies with the route chosen. Checked on Sep 15, 2026.
Bases whose route passes through another measured base: the OSRM / OpenStreetMap leg to it plus the Google Maps route. Checked on Sep 15, 2026.
In the guide: Use the Engenho II Tourist Service Center (CAT) as your car's destination, after about 27 km of dirt road from Cavalcante. Then arrange community transport and the walk; do not follow a private-car route straight to the pool.
Includes the channels of Engenho II, which runs this circuit.

Visitor recordings on Wikiloc help you get to know the route and its stops. Measurements are approximate and belong to the recorded track; elevation gain adds up the climbs or descents. Difficulty is the author’s own rating and may differ from the guide’s classification. Check current conditions with the attraction’s operator.
To overlay a route on the map above, download its GPX file from Wikiloc and open it in “Overlay a GPX trail”. Wikiloc may require you to log in to download the file.
Partial curation; sorting only covers the routes listed here.
