With tons of waterfalls, trails a and breathtaking natural landscapes, Tapirai has about 80% of the area dominated by the Atlantic Forest and protected by the APA – Environmental Protection Area. Look at the map and the touristic points:
TREKKING: TUCANOS TREK
It’s a very safe trekking and easy level, it’s perfect for families and children, and it’s considered the perfect place for birdwatching. The trekking, 850 meters long, is part of a group of trekking in the region, totaling 3,700 meters. The other treks area: Surucuá (760m), Macuco (910m), Tangará (870) and Juruva (380).

WATERFALL: TEA WATERFALL
This is the main attraction of the city, the waterfall is about 30 meters high and to get there is an easy trail of about 1 km around the Owls River. This waterfall is a beauty by itself, but attention, the current is strong which so it’s not a good place to take a waterfall shower. But, do not be discouraged, there is also a natural pool for some swimming.
Location: Bairro do Chá – Estrada da Fazenda Velha (15 km from downtown)

WATERFALL: JUQUIAZINHO WATERFALL
This waterfall has several falls and is very beautiful, the main one has a cave and a natural pool, but it may not be good for bathing due to strong currents. The trek to arrive there is very beautiful. And the level I would say is moderate to easy. (not recommended for children and seniors.)
Location: Guilherme Gil Street | Tpr-42 – only 2km from the center
