Audio Guide of Toboggan Waterfall

The waterfall is open every day of the year, from sunrise to sunset, with no fixed hours since it is a natural site. To get there, take the CE-128 road from Icapuí in Ceará, and the main access is via a trail of about 500 meters from the parking area; a 4x4 vehicle is recommended for the last part of the الطريق. For more details, check the TripAdvisor page.

Admission is free, as it is a protected natural attraction, although you may pay a small fee for local parking (around R$10). There are no official tickets, but check with local guides to avoid extra charges. If you are looking for organized tours, see options on Viator.

It is recommended to allow 2 to 3 hours to fully enjoy the waterfall, including time to walk to the natural slide and swim in the pools. If you plan a picnic or photos, it could stretch to 4 hours. It is ideal for a half-day visit in your itinerary.

This waterfall is a unique natural formation in the Icapuí region, known for its rock 'slides' where the water glides smoothly, attracting visitors for decades because of its ecological beauty. Culturally, it represents the natural heritage of Ceará, part of the Atlantic Forest, and is valued by local communities as a sacred place for connecting with nature. Learn more on the ICMBio website for Brazilian national parks.

The best time is during the dry season from July to December, when the water level is ideal for sliding without too much current. Go early in the morning, between 8 and 10 AM, to avoid crowds and enjoy cooler temperatures; afternoons can be very hot.

The main access involves an uneven trail with rocks and descents, so it is not very accessible for wheelchairs or people with reduced mobility; walking in non-slip shoes is necessary. For adapted options, contact local ecotourism agencies in Icapuí at +55 88 3622-1000, which may offer modified guided tours.

Nearby, about 20 km away, you can visit Redondas Beach with its natural pools, or Jericoacoara National Park, a 3-hour drive away, for dunes and beaches. Another option is Cauípe Lagoon for kitesurfing; plan a combined day trip to make the most of your time in Ceará.

Bring insect repellent, sunscreen, water, and water shoes for the slides; do not forget a towel for after swimming. Respect the environment by leaving no trash, and consider hiring a local guide for safety (around R$50 per group). For updates, check the Ceará tourism portal.
