Catarata dos Couros - Alto Paraiso de Goias - Brasil
Catarata dos Couros (catarata means waterfalls), located in Alto Paraíso de Goiás, is one of the most beautiful attractions in Chapada dos Veadeiros, a region in Brasil famous for its waterfalls and natural beauty. Definitely one of the most beautiful regions in Brazil. Brazil is very rich in waterfalls! The amount of waterfalls that exist in this country I have never seen so abundant anywhere else in the world. To get to Catarata dos Couros you take a road leaving from Alto Paraíso and then a dirt road most of the part. The path is not so clear and easy, but it is not so difficult either. I went by a simple rental car, normal traction, and I was fine, however, to get there, I got a lot of information from the locals in Alto Paraiso de Goias: go there, turn at the fork, turn after again... anyway... you have to pay good attention on how to get there. Another observation: at the very end, there is a steep descent and you will find a "bar" that serves food, drinks, etc. I didn't go down this descent by car, because if it rained, it would be difficult to go up in a normal car. So I left it upstairs, 1 block from the entry point. Google maps currently even traces the path for you, but without much precision, but if you put it in satellite mode I believe it will be easier to understand. You may be able to find the GPS path through the Wikiloc apps. Another option would be to hire a local guide. I went without a guide. A guide can also be useful for you to better explore the place itself, as it has several points of waterfalls and some are more hidden. In Alto Paraíso it is easy to find a guide in the local association. But it's an open region, easy to walk, wide, with lots and lots of falls and waterfalls, good for swimming in many places, you can explore it with no worry, just don't be in a hurry... Great place for you to get to know this Brazil of waterfalls.
