Goias
This city draws attention for its natural beauty, especially for a waterfall called Poço Azul. Mambaí (Goiás), a small town in the interior of Goiás with several trails, waterfalls and other ecotourism activities.
This is the perfect trip for anyone who enjoys being in contact with nature in an unexplored place. In this post you will find all the information for you to plan your itinerary in Mambaí. Swimming in a waterfall with crystalline water, full of fish and with a blue-green hue is the perfect option to renew your energy!

The closest airport to Mambaí is Brasilia. Therefore, if you are leaving Rio or São Paulo, keep an eye out for deals on air tickets to BSB (Brasilia International Airport).
From Brasilia to Mambaí, the road time will be around 4 hours. The ideal is to rent a car to make this journey with peace of mind and, also, so that you can get around to the tours.

Try to avoid the months of November to April, as it is the rainy season and the probability of you not being able to take certain tours due to the water level is high. In addition, one of the main attractions in Mambaí (Goiás) is the Poços Azuis, which become cloudy with the rain.
The ideal is to look for the driest months, between May and October. We went in September and found clear skies, mild temperatures and starry nights! By the way, for those who enjoy night photography, prepare a camera and a tripod, because it's worth spending a few hours watching the stars.
A very nice inn option is the Mambaí Inn, mainly because it is well located, since it is in a very quiet area of the city. The chalets are very comfortable and spacious. Even though it is very simple, it is a pleasant, very welcoming place and the team that works there is a 10.
For those who want to save money and be even more in touch with nature, we suggest Luar Encantado camping. In addition to the sensational landscape, with a creek in the background, the facilities are exceptional. It has a collective kitchen, bathrooms with hot water, wi-fi and even a swimming pool. You can also choose whether or not to include breakfast.
The Cachoeira Paraíso do Cerrado has a huge pool and is a delight to swim. It is located in a neighboring municipality called Damianápolis. Leaving the center of Mambaí, it takes about 40 minutes until you reach the trailhead. After paying admission, which costs $3 per person (it is on private property), just go down a trail that takes about 15 minutes.
The ideal is to visit this waterfall between 11 am and 3 pm, as after 4 pm it starts to get dark and the water is no longer so clear and green without the incidence of the sun. I arrived around 4pm and the sun had already begun to set. It remained a beautiful waterfall, but I advise you to arrive earlier to enjoy the day.
This trail requires a guide and willingness, which are rewarded by arriving at three very beautiful blue-green wells! The trail is considered medium level and takes about 1:30h.
Another nice activity that can be combined with a visit to Poços Azuis is the 320m long and 102m high zip line that is located on the same terrain.
For the more adventurous, this abseiling is a must! Go in the morning and guarantee an incredible view with a rainbow. By the way, there is a complete post with all the information about this trip to Cachoeira do Funil here on the blog.
It is also possible to make a pendulum in the waterfall. And after experiencing a good dose of adrenaline, there is nothing like relaxing in the wells of Cachoeira do Funil.
The Alemão Waterfall is accessible by a light trail, which takes no more than 10 minutes. The waterfall has a delicious fall and looks more like a little beach in the cerrado. The bottom is sandy and the water is warm, that is, a delight to swim!
To get there, it is necessary to follow a guide, as it is on private property.
Now that you've got all the tips, all you have to do is set up the itinerary, choose the accommodation using BITBOOK.NET, pack your suitcase and throw yourself into the charm of this amazing place.
