This is the Véu de Noiva, a beautiful waterfall that is protected by the inaccessible and very deep gorge.
Getting to the Chapada dos Guimaraes National Parkis was very difficult as the park authorities only allow a limited stay in the hottest hours of the day with a local guide that collects a key from the authorities on the way to the park, and return them on the way out – same day.
Visiting this location has been exceptionally difficult in the last decade, as the park authorities have locked down almost all services in the park, due to several incidents with Brazilians for the most part.
They change the rules so frequently that the local tourist industry is unable to function. In fact I was exceptionally lucky to even get to this vista, as it was supposed to be closed off. The park authorities did not allow me to stay later than around 16:00, or in other words do not allow visitors to experience the best hours of the day – dusk and dawn.
