If you want to explore two amazing sites in Minas Gerais, you cannot miss this day trip from Belo Horizonte. We'll visit the famous waterfalls in the town of Capitólio and sail on Furnas Lake.

Capitólio & Furnas Lake Tour

After picking you up at your hotel in Belo Horizonte at the designated time, we'll start a 4-hour journey south towards Capitólio, one of the main tourist destinations in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais.

From Capitólio, where we'll have a short tour, we'll travel to the Furnas Lake. Did you know that this lake is known as "the sea of Minas Gerais"? Once on the shore, we'll embark on a speedboat trip that will allow us to see the famous bridge of the Turvo River up close.

During the ride on the Furnas Lake, we'll also see the spectacular Lagoa Azul and Cascatinha waterfalls. We'll also see the beautiful Toucan Valley, which is only accessible from the water. After this unforgettable trip, which will end with the return to the starting point, we'll anchor at the shore of the lake. There, you'll have an hour free to swim and recharge your batteries in one of the restaurants in the area.

In the afternoon, we'll visit the Diquadinha waterfall and head to the Furnas Canyon viewpoint, where the panoramic views will leave you speechless! This amazing gorge is one of the main natural attractions of Minas Gerais.

Finally, we'll conclude the day trip by returning to your hotel in Belo Horizonte, where we'll arrive after 13 to 15 hours.
