Conceição dos Gatos

About 9km from Vale do Capão, in the municipality of Palmeiras, the village of Conceição dos Gatos pairs an easy hike with a great meal. The walk to Cachoeira de Cima (also called Boa Vista), a waterfall dropping over 40 meters, takes less than 15 minutes on mostly flat ground. From there, a light-to-moderate hour-long trail leads to Poço das Cobras, a long pool — nearly 40 meters — perfect for swimming. In the village, save time to try the local home cooking, with dishes like galinha caipira (free-range chicken) with godó de banana, a traditional mashed-banana side.
