Caracol Falls, or Cascata do Caracol, is a 426-foot (130 meter) waterfall about 4.35 miles (7.00 km) from Canela, Brazil in Caracol State Park (Parque do Caracol). It is formed by the Caracol River and cuts out of basalt cliffs in the Serra Geral mountain range, falling into the Vale da Lageana. Caracol Falls has long attracted visitors and is the second most popular natural tourist attraction in Brazil, trailing only Iguazu Falls. In 2009, it received more than 289,000 visitors. There is a nearby 100-foot observation tower that offers an elevator and a panoramic view, as well as a cable car that gives tourists an aerial view of the waterfall. The area also provides a restaurant and craft stalls.
I have always felt like a valued client.
Over the years I have thoroughly enjoyed taking small-group women's tours with Cathy Scott. Some of the highlights of my travels with the group were an incredible camel ride to watch the sun set in the dunes of Morocco and cruising Halong Bay in Vietnam. Our trip around Tuscany began in a quant town "Stresa" on Lake Maggiore, a short boat ride from the beautiful Borromean Islands. Cathy's love of Southern India led me to also fall in love with the people, food, sights and colours of the country, and I can hardly wait to do the tour of Northern India.Cathy is an attentive host who pays great attention to the hotel accommodation, quality of meals, comfort and reliability of the local transportation and the knowledge of the local tour guides. I have always felt like a valued client.For women without a travel companion or those who want to experience destinations they may not wish to visit on their own, nothing is better than the fun, organization and sense of security that comes from this type of travel. It is definitely no-worry travel.
