Zipline Mega Tour Brotas: 120m Canopy Flight & Cristal Waterfall Trail
Fly 120 meters above the Brotas valley on a high‑adrenaline zipline sequence, then follow a 2 km forest trail to Cachoeira Cristal for a refreshing swim. This half-day Mega Tour pairs aerial thrills with a short rainforest walk and local farm hospitality.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear shoes with grip
Closed-toe sneakers with good traction are mandatory — cables and rock near the waterfall get slippery when wet.
Bring swimwear under clothing
You’ll likely get wet at the waterfall segment, so wear swimwear beneath lightweight clothes for quick transitions.
Arrive early and know limits
Check in 15 minutes before your slot and be aware of the 5‑year minimum age and 110 kg maximum weight.
Plan for cancellations in rain
The waterfall trail may be canceled during heavy rain; schedule flexibly and confirm the day before.
