Bonsucesso Waterfalls (Cachoeiras Bonsucesso)

The Bonsucesso Waterfalls are among the natural attractions closest to central Pirenópolis: they are on the Fazenda Bonsucesso farm, about 5 km from the historic centre, according to the official website. That makes them a practical choice if you are short on time, travelling with children or would rather avoid long stretches of dirt road.

What you will find

According to the official website, there are six waterfalls along a trail of about 1,500 metres. The idea is to follow the path and stop at the pools you like best — you can do the full circuit or pick just a few falls.

Tickets and booking

There is an entrance fee, as at most waterfalls in Pirenópolis, which are on private land. The City Hall’s Tourism Portal indicated that booking was required. Up-to-date prices, opening hours and rules are on the official website; we do not publish them because they change frequently.

Who it is for

• Short on time: being close by, it fits into a morning or an afternoon.
• Families: see also Pirenópolis with kids.
• First-time visitors: combine nature and town on the same day without rushing.

How to fit it into your itinerary

Another half-day pairing is the Vagafogo Sanctuary, also close to town. Compare with other options in Pirenópolis waterfalls.
