Cachoeira de São Vicente

Saindo de Alto Paraíso de Goiás, a partir do trevo de entrada da cidade, via BR010 são 19Km em direção a Brasília até a saída da rodovia e entrada a direita em estrada de terra pouco amigável para veículos convencionais. Infelizmente não é simples descrever o caminho deste ponto em diante e até que eu poste o track log para os usuários de GPS, a melhor recomendação é a contratação de um guia.

A foto á esquerada é da Cachoeira da Muralha, e mostra apenas uma parte dela. Depois de deixar o carro e caminhar 600 metros encontra-se esta linda queda d'agua com duas enormes piscinas de águas cristalinas do Rio Dos Couros, cerca de 700m rio acima e relação à Cachoeira de São Vicente.

Continuando a caminhada, de repente as águas despencam em um precipício. É a Cachoeira de São Vicente, ou Catarata do Rio dos Couros. Com uma queda d'agua de cerca de 100 metros de altura é sem dúvida uma das mais bonitas da região.

O fundo do poço ao pé da queda d'agua é formado por duas imensas lajes de pedra levemente inclinadas, sendo desta forma praticamente uma piscina calçada, livre de qualquer outro material.

Nadar nu nesta cachoeira, apesar de não ser impossível, só será viável nos momentos de menor fluxo de pessoas, visto que é uma das principais atrações da região.

Mesmo sendo improvável a possibilidade de nadar sem roupas, este é um passeio imperdível para quem vai à Chapada dos Veadeiros.

Notas:

Beleza: Máxima

Risco: Baixo (Fora da época das chuvas)

Sem Roupa: Baixa (em raros momentos)

Cachoeira de Santa Maria

A oito quilômetros do trevo de saída de Pirenópolis, pela estrada que leva ao Parque Estadual Serra dos Pirineus está a entrada (acesso pago) para a Reserva Ecológica Vargem Grande onde se localiza a de Cachoeira de Santa Maria.


Do carro á cachoeira são apenas 600 metros de caminhada sem grande esforço. O local conta com boa infra-estrutura dispondo de banheiros bem cuidados, lojinha, e lanchonete. Na cachoeira existe inclusive salva vidas, o que é coisa muito rara de se encontrar. Infelizmente não oferece área de camping.

A cachoeira tem uma queda d'agua de oito metros com bom volume de água, mas a maior atração é a areia branquinha que forra o imenso poço da cachoeira em uma rampa muito suave e segura e que emerge para formar uma prainha muito charmosa.

Para quem procura um passeio seguro, agradável e com toda infra-estrutura é uma excelente pedida, mas para o amantes do banho nu está completamente fora de questão.

Notas:
Beleza: Alta
Riscos: Mínimo
Possibilidade de nadar sem roupa: Nenhuma

Cachoeira do Abade

Mil e cem metros após a portaria que dá acesso à Reserva Ecológica Vargem Grande e à Cachoeira de Santa Maria e do Lázaro, entre à direita; dois quilômetros e meio depois seguindo as placas você estará na Cachoeira do Abade.

A água cai de cerca de 22 metros de altura diretamente dentro do poço. Em impacto direto com a pele é suficiente para ser dolorido, mas absolutamente suportável. Mas em termos estéticos é espetacular.

O acesso é controlado e cobrado. Existe um recém construido posto de atendimento ao visitante com banheiros limpos, mas esta é a única infra-estrutura oferecida.

Existe área destinada a camping, mas sem qualquer facilidade instalada.

Nadar sem roupa? Extremamente improvável, já que é uma das mais visitadas da região. Contudo, se você se dispuser a acampar e gostar de banho de cachoeira noturno...

Notas:

Beleza: Máxima

Risco: Mínimo

Sem roupa: Mínimo.
