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.

The canyons are beautiful - I took the tour with LucasTur @quiosqueflordemandacaru, with a boarding point at Praia Dulce. An organized place, we were very well looked after by Lucas and his mother Ana. The boatman was Cícero, who was welcoming and let us enjoy the tour in peace. He took us to Hidden Canyons, which for us was the best part of the tour in terms of beauty. To finish, we went to Castanho, which has an area reserved for swimming in Rio (it was very dirty on the day), a swimming pool with a finite edge (R$10 for access), a team of efficient waiters and good food. For us, the highlight of this place is the trampoline next to the pool, which is 10m high and falls into Rio. We were three adults and a 9-year-old child.

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 beautiful - Very beautiful. It's very tiring to make the round trip from Aracaju. If I'm going back one day, I'll certainly rent a car and sleep in the city of Piranhas.

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
