IBITIPOCA

Minas Gerais - Brazil. This national park, about 4 hours' drive from Rio, is deceptive. For a start, the name means " Place of the Snakes ". Initially, you tend to dismiss it as a rather bare featureless plateau, but, suddenly, entering a ravine, you are awestruck by a fine cascading waterfall or a rushing stream embedded with rock of unbelievable colours, verging on the psychedelic. The waters themselves can turn to Cabernet Sauvignon, ochre, mercury, or coke (or is that pepsi). There are caves too, and, at night, if you sit quietly near the litter bins, you can glimpse the shy, tall, spindly-legged Guará wolf. I myself, in 3 visits, have never seen a single snake (not even a married one !!!).




Best to let the download complete first, turn up your sound, lie back in your chair and let the water sounds and sights massage away any stress.

Muito bom vídeo.

Queria saber qual é essa primeira cachoeira filmada. Essa eu não conheço.

Lamento. Não sei o nome, mas fazendo o circuito do Parque no sentido horário, é a primeira. Ao chegar no topo do desfiladeiro, é só seguir o riacho para cima. O nome deve constar num site sobre of Parque.
