Indescribable beauty of nature - Unparalleled place with indescribable beauty, admire nature and bathe in the San Francisco river. It's far away, but it's worth it!

Fantastic experience - Wonderful walk! Amazing landscape, a bath break in the immense San Francisco River and a brief immersion in the cave. We made the Canions ride with Lucas on a flying boat, with boatman David. We recommend! Lucas's contact is 08287545472. And he also that indicated me other good professionals to do tours that he did not do. Excellent!

Stunning - One of the greatest shows on earth. Few times have I been so excited in one place. Beautiful and exuberant. The certainty that God made your creation perfectly. A day worth living

The place is wonderful, the trip was awful! - The place is LINDO, very worth visiting and know this wonder of nature. The road through San Francisco is an unforgettable sight. Time helped. You have the opportunity to go among the canyons in canoes that cost 20 reais. The walk is short, about 10 minutes, but since we went there we will see everything. Light sunscreen, the wind can fool, but the sun is strong. But let's talk about the way there. We made the trip from Aracaju to the van site, it was awful! Almost 4 hours to go and another 4 to come back. Very tired. We suggest check with the agency if it will be a micro-bus, it's less worse. Another suggestion is to sleep in Piranhas, for example, enjoy to know the region and then return to Aracaju.

A place to meet. - The place is wonderful, the boat or catamaran ride through the San Francisco River is a unique experience. The area has good restaurants as well, we were well served at the restaurant Carrancas. My only consideration is the noise of loud music in the catamaran. The region is of contemplation and it spoils the walk.

Imperdible!!! - Wonderful place, with direct contact with nature. The scheme beats and turns is exhausting and talking afterwards with those who spent the night in the city, I saw that maybe this could be an excellent option. Imperdible!!

Beautiful and pleasant walk - The area is very beautiful. Great pictures. The ride is timed. There are 3hs of tour 2hs to go come and a 1hr on site. The walk in the canyon's cracks is 10 min with a rowing boat, very beautiful, but very fast, only for contemplation. Good food at the restaurant.

very tired - The dogs are beautiful. It's not all they say, but it's beautiful. If you are in a nearby city, it is worth seeing. However, if you go to go from Aracaju, knock back, it's not worth it. The trip, although it takes 3 hours, takes at least 4 hours by car (if you catch little movement). If you go with the buses of tourism companies, it takes more than 5 hours. So, in my opinion, it's not worth the walk, to stay 3 hours away and 10 hours on the road. There are other walks of Aracaju and as beautiful as the dogs. It's my opinion
