Tips by GUSTAVO VIVACQUA

1. There is no cell phone signal and few phone booths exist. The communication with the world is very precarious.  

2. In extended weekends the place gets crowded. Try to go out of season, it is much better. 

3. In the holidays, a lot of people camp too close to the waterfalls. Result: Disordered camping + garbage = Disorder. It makes me want to cry. 

4. São Thomé das Letras is close and it is worth the visit.   

5. Going by car is a good option, because the attractions are far from the other ones. 

6. A bike would already help a lot there.  

7. The fans will love the trails of the area. 

8. The city has no nightlife, even in the holidays.  

9. "The most beautiful place of CArrancas is the Emerald's well, the water is greenish!! it is worthwhile to take a breakfast at Café da Roça, that is on the road for Smoke's Waterfall, it costs R$5 and you will eat so much that won't need to eat the rest of the day.  " tip from Fernanda, Atibaia SP  

10 "Hey Haxi, you guys helped me so much, I always take a look here before going for a trip. Then in this last Corpus Crist holiday I went to Carrancas, and I loved the place. My tip is to enjoy the waterfalls during the daytime, taking some beers at the bar whenever it's possible.............. Don't bring any food to the place, because it's very cheap to eat there. And at the Zilda's Waterfall, diving from from  the high is awesome........ See you in Carrancas, guys. "  tip from Badal  

11. "Tip no. 8 is out of date!!! Get to Know Taberna Compostela and enjoy some good music, to the light of candles, but still being casual, and the great snacks! In the holidays, mainly, some groups of people sit around of the long wood table. It is worthwhile to check." tip from Adriane Magalhães Leite   

12."The Grão Mogol's Waterfall is very beautiful, the water is clear and you can even see the erosion on the bottom of the stones, but it is better to go with a guide. Timbinha is a nice one. He is a lot patient, mainly with the fearsome" ones." tip from Daniela  

13. "Don't miss having breakfast in "Café na Roça". On the road for smoke's waterfall, this farm is 2 km from the city. You spend a few money and get to it until you explode. cheese bread, legitimate Minas cheese, milk recently taken from the cow, besides several tidbits... everything fresh and done by lady Soraia, a lovely person!!! " tip from Jefferson Renó - SJK  

14. "Hi. If you don't want to stay at a lodging, here is a good tip: Mr. Osvaldo's camping, that is in the beginning of Carrancas, before the bridge. There is, besides the low price, bathrooms and changing rooms and a restaurant where it is serveed breakfast and lunch. The look is beautiful, because there is a stream that crosses camping, and you sleep to the sound of running waters. Otherwise, just set up your tent far from it. If you want more tips, ask me through my e-mail: amigosdoevandro@artnet.com.br. Bye!!!! "tip from Evandro, Juiz de Fora MG  

15. "If you want to go to Carrancas, but is a little doubtful, let me give you a tip. In 2001, I was in doubt, about going to Carrancas or to Santos. Well, I chose Carrancas and now I'm going there for the seventh time.  I've never seen such a great pllace.  Each trail has a new surprise.  It is really worthwhile to get to know Carrancas." tip from Luciana Lopes / Monte Alto SP 

16. " People, if you intend to go to Carrancas, don't waste any more time, go soon! This place is very good and I already went 4 times and I know a family there (Mr Adépio's family) that I consider my family. I already crossed the Zilda's grotto, and right in the middle of the course the roof is at waist height, in other words, you have to crawl for about five meters, it is a lot of fun! Oh, the bread from there is delicious! " tip from Júnior Lemos Rocha - Rio de Janeiro 

17. "I went to Frowns in the low season and during the week. It was good, because the city was empty (I think me and my girlfriend were the only tourists there). But it was difficult to find a place to eat lunch and dinner, since everything was closed. Even the bars at the waterfalls were not open. What saved us was Renata's restaurant , that is in Elson Teixeira street , almost in front of the Mail. Renata is such a nice person, the home-made food is VERY good. It is worthwhile to to get to know her." tip from Bruno 

18. "I go to Carrancas since I was 12 years old, in other words, I've been visiting it for 13 years. I think there isn't, in Brazil, a place with waterfalls like those.  The tip is to stay at pousada das Tocas (Burrows Lodging), that has chalets and a very nice camping.  The food is fantastic. When you go there they don't to ask for the fish lasagna - just fantastic. Visit Carrancas and fall in love. "tip from Felipe Carrara 

19. "All of the waterfalls of Carrancas are located in private properties. Some of them, as the one of Grão Mogol and the one of the Swallows is interdicted to the visitors. So, it is advisable to visit the waterfalls with guides... there are 3 guiding agencies at the square of the city, it's cheap and they know the whole area". tip from Bruno Privatti
