Tourist Guide

We took a guided hike to this beautiful waterfall. The hike departed from the Pousada das Palmeiras in Brotas, Brazil. It's a vigorous and wet 45-minute hike to reach the fall, where you can relax and swim in its pool. Our guide provided us with hiking sticks, which were invaluable. #waterlust More info here: http://www.badsentences.com/hike-to-cachoeira-santa-maria-brotas-brazil/
