Vó Ivone - Ecotourism tour to see the Caracol waterfall on its flat level. The price is quite high at R$198.00 per person and seniors do not have a discount. Jeep model cars take tourists to a certain point in the park and from this point to where the waterfall meets the lake formed is via a trail. Despite the absurd price, this new tour is worth it for those who like hiking.

Amazing place!!! I always had the dream of visiting it and thank God I was able to do it on a beautiful day, it rained the previous nights, the waterfall was full and beautiful...
It didn't disappoint me at all. It's worth paying to go to the observatory, there are binoculars to see better.

The Caracol Falls stay neat the Caracol Natural Park, but the entrance is outside the Park, so pay attention to that detail. There is a nice ride in a very safe cable car that takes three different levels. You start in the middle one, then you go up to the highrer point, then you go down to the lower level (where the good pictures are taken), and then you go back up to the middle level again, where you exit the attraction.in the uppder level there was an exihibit called "Cultures that speak" with wooden devices where one can mimic the sounds of animals in the jungle. Overall, the attracttion is quite worth it. One hint: there is not good place to have lunch in the attraction, only a small cafe with a few snacks, Try to get there early in the morning and have lunch back in downtown Canela of whereever you came from.

I was at the park on 10/09/23, and to my disappointment the ticket price was 75 reais per person and another 30 reais for parking, that is, a couple spends 180 reais just to enter a park, whose main attraction is a natural beauty, a waterfall, something that should be in the public domain and for the public. Nothing against charging what they consider fair for mechanical attractions (elevator, cable car, etc.) but 75 for just entering? Abusive price worthy of a consultation with the Public Ministry. I was there in September 22 and I only paid 30 reais per person to enter, today 30 is the parking, which I also don't understand why they charge so much, there are no covered spaces, and not even the route for visitors from the parking lot to the ticket office is covered.
What changed for prices to rise so much?

I already knew the place, with its magnificent view. Unfortunately, there is now a company with employees who practically force you to stand in line to take unsolicited photos. What should have been a viewpoint is now a place where you are only welcome if you pay for a photography service. Extremely unpleasant. And tourists are not given the option of heading to the old viewpoint where the view could also be enjoyed.

The place is beautiful, I had been there when my son was a child, and it was better (he is now 20 years old). There are deactivated areas, such as an observatory, which has been closed full of weeds since 2015, for maintenance that, with all the money they receive, they have not yet done. The only thing that scared us was Floribau, it was bizarre. Otherwise, the landscapes are beautiful. It's not even remotely worth charging 63.00 per person. 40 would be well paid, for the more or less care of the place.

Bad place! Extremely expensive price, parking not included, equally expensive and forcing you to pay in a separate location. The park has almost no attractions, the only thing that remains is the first viewpoint of the waterfall (but it's not worth the ticket). They still charge R$ 15.00 more for an observatory that is worse than the viewpoint because with the glass (dirty by the way) the photos don't look good. And the “golden key” is the gift they give you if you stamp your entire passport, a messy and useless brooch! Gramado definitely has much more to offer than this park!

A scam no matter how you look at it.
They charge 90 reais to ride the cable car and 40 reais to see a waterfall in the distance from a platform that is a cafe.
My parents didn't go up but they had to pay, I went up and almost died when I saw that the talking animals were made of wood and you had to pass a stick over them to supposedly hear their sound.
A walk that I do not suggest at all... Very bad experience

Boring ride, there's a huge queue, so you can hop on and off the cable car, take a photo and that's it. Only go if you've never ridden a cable car, to get the experience. The view is beautiful but there is another tour with a much more beautiful view of the waterfall.

Guys, be aware that there is nothing beyond the waterfall. The value is very high and yes, the only interesting thing you will see is this.
The trail is long, and the gift is a brooch, so see if it's worth it and worth the experience, I really wanted to see the waterfall and I went, but I wouldn't go again.
But for those who want to see it like me, it's worth going at least once.

bom dia, irei pra gramado no final de maio eu e minha filha de 12 anos. ela tem horror de bondinho, não entra de maneira alguma mas queria muito ver a cachoeira para tirar foto. tem alguma maneira de ver a cachoeira sem pagar o ingresso do bondinho? pq nao tem cumulo pagar quase 70 reais se não vou utiliza-lo
Written April 16, 2019
Bom dia Flávia tudo bem sim você pode ver a cachoeira no Parque Estadual do caracol que fica antes dos bondinhos e eu recomendo para você este Park porque além de ser mais barato é muito mais bonito a visão da Cachoeira pois você ver a cachoeira de mais perto o Bondinho se trata apenas de uma empresa que Cobra Caro para fazer um passeio e não é tão bom assim é apenas marketing, anota aí Parque Estadual do caracol Se caso você for de Uber você diz para o motorista que quer ir no parque que a entrada é r$ 20 por pessoa que ele irá saber qual é Você caminha menos de 5 minutos e já vê a cachoeira vale a pena a visita.

Bom dia Marisa, olha... chega ser ridículo pesquisar sobre o preço do ingresso... é um tal de esconde, esconde para induzir o turista a baixar aplicativos para saber o preço. Quando visitamos no mês de novembro, estava 18,00 - acredito que possa variar um pouco agora nos dias de festas. Sobre ir de Gramado até lá, o mais acertivo é ir de carro - Uber, por exemplo. É lindo o lugar e uma visita legal vai pelo menos umas 2 horas. Abs.
