Mirante do Inferno

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Incredible place... however it is a very heavy trail and it walks a lot, it took me about 5 hours to reach the summit. They don't have any signs, if you don't have any experience, I advise you to go with a guide! Ideal to go as soon as possible, the car cannot stop at the dam, they have to leave it...
