Itinerary
Witness the beautiful millennial basaltic stroke, approximately 700 meters deep and six kilometers long. Two easy trails through the edges allow to see the walls covered by Araucaria: the Vertice (3km, 45 minutes, round trip) and the Elbow (6km, two hours, round trip).
The Cotovelo (Elbow) trail is 6.3 km long (round trip) on a completely flat path, with a walk that takes an average of 2:30h (round trip). People of all ages can take the Elbow trail, which starts at the park's headquarters. Most of the path is made by an old park road, the rest of the path is made by the edge of the canyon. Arriving at the first viewpoint, it is possible to see the classic image of the Itaimbezinho walls. Then the trail continues to follow the canyon where you can see views from other angles, with emphasis on the Elbow, which gives the name to the trail.
The Vertice Trail also starts at the park's headquarters, on a shorter route, 1.4 km long. It takes an average of 45 minutes of walking (round trip) and the level is easy and can be done by people of all ages. Along its route there are lookouts where it is possible to see the Cascata das Andorinhas, a fall of approximately 200 meters high. The fall is formed by Arroio Perdizes which later becomes the Boi River and cuts through the rest of the canyon. In the second viewpoint it is possible to see the Véu da Noiva Waterfall, with a fall with 289 meters high. Its waters are formed by Arroio Preá, which helps in the formation of the Rio do Boi, a river that flows at the bottom of the canyon. At the third viewpoint, you can see the two waterfalls and the beginning of the Itaimbezinho Canyon, which is in the shape of a vertex and gives rise to the name of the trail. At the end of the trails, it's time to replenish your energy with a tasty picnic.

The trails offer wonderful views over the canions and they are imposing, from taking the hole. But you have to be lucky in the day to not catch nebelina because there visibility is minimal. When we went, it was a beautiful sunny day
Prezado Cliente. Muito obrigado pelo review. Ficamos felizes que gostou do tour, um passeio muito confortável e bom para aproveitar em família. Por favor conte conosco em futuras viagens. Obrigado. Att, Giovanna Maldonado
Extremely expensive for what it is, we spend more time at the aunt of the guide who runs a bakery rather than visiting. You will only see one national park by the way. Group of elderly people, walking very, very slow.
Bonjour. Nous vous prions de nous excuser, mais comme il s'agit d'une visite de groupe et non d'une visite privée, d'autres participants sont présents et nous ne proposons pas de filtrage par âge. Nous allons examiner la situation et améliorer le reste de l'expérience partagée. Merci.
I actually did not go, I received the confirmation the day before, at 20:30 and the next day at 7:30 at the meeting place, I was informed that it would not happen, there was not enough people. Disappointing.
Excellent experience. We left with rain and suddenly the sky opened... we enjoy a very beautiful and fruitful walk for those who like nature. We visited a wonderful canyon with waterfalls in the company of the guide Itamar very competent and careful with everyone.

Excellent attention from the whole team. They were very friendly, answered my inquiries accurately. The tour is good, safe and with very good views. The rhythm is according to the group and the guide, Itamar, has a lot of knowledge and interacts with everyone. Pretty recommended to spend a different day knowing more about RS.

A great experience, great Guide, very well planned the places visited were very well hidden. For what we visit, I recommend the Gramado receptive.
We went with Broker tourism (I highly recommend it for the lawn and cinnamon region) to the canyon of Itambezinho, the Guide Itamar, a passionate for the place, took us along the trails and showed us the wonderful view of the canyons. It was a day with a lot of rain and cold, but none of it took the beauty and charm of this tour. As my husband has disc hernia and could do the whole track, the Itamar (our Guide) managed a fireman, park employee, to take my husband to the viewers and thus enjoy the beautiful view of this place.

Incredible tour, with the best guide ITAMAR, who knows everything about the region and provided us with a wonderful tour, with time to enjoy the place, without rushing. This is complemented by the attention of the agency girls: Paula and Sara, with all their friendliness and attention to tourists. It's so worth taking the tour with them. I highly recommend it.
