After passing a gas station and the "almost 180° turn" on the road, enter the dust road to the right at the "Santa Maria do Herval" sign. Follow the signs directions to the town and before you get to the "city" itself, turn left near a gas station and try to find the signs for "Cascata do Herval" (Herval Waterfall). Once you get there, follow the trail down to the river and get to the stairs. There's a passage in the stone behind the fall. At the end of the passage there is a blocking brickwall that you must be very carefull when crossing (remember, you are at the edge of a 75m high wall). After you trespass the brickwall follow the trail searching for a bolt line in the wall to your right. |
