We went to Caracol Park and were already impressed by the view. Now, Ferradura Park is even better: breathtaking views over the Serra Gaucha. The place is about 15 km from Canela and by car easy to reach. The facilities there are very basic and this makes is so beautiful. There are even churrasco places where you can have your... More

Parque da Ferradura is a private nature preserve that has three lookouts to the Vale da Ferradura (Horseshoe Valley), formed by Rio Santa Cruz. You can walk trails in more than 500 acres of pine forests through hilly countryside. A strenuous two-hour trek reaches Rio Caí near its source. Spotting deer, anteaters, and badgers is quite common! Wonderful place!

The park itself has a very simple structure, but the view is amazing! If you have time and physical condition you may walk down to the river. But it really worht the visit!

you can go for lunch, picnic walk and see a wonderful landscape and views

It's slightly dangerous and kinda slippery (definitively avoid it if wet) but the... More

The park is like a big fair, they seem to like in Brazil. Bit the Falls are spectaculer
