The richness of the offer of natural parks and biodiversity treasures in Brazil, as well as the remoteness of some places tend to hide natural spaces of immense interest for biodiversity and ecotourism that can be associated with it. The park "Serra de Ricardo Franco" is quite exceptional, because we can see the 3 regional ecosystems in the same place. The Amazonian ecosystem, that of the cerrados and that of the Pantanal are mixed in complex relations of exchange, mixture and symbiosis. It is said that this serra inspired the book The Lost World to Conan Doyle. Although a little far from Cuiabà, this region can be of extraordinary richness for those who want and have the time to go off the beaten track. You can see spectacular waterfalls, natural pools, pink dolphins in the rivers... Tourism is just starting in this region, and this is what makes it interesting. You will have to coordinate this visit with an agency in Nobre or Cuiaba, because the area is quite wild.

Cachoeira dos Namorados. It flows into a lake of emerald and crystalline water from its 70 meters height. It is one of the most popular sites in the park (and also one of the most accessible).

Cachoeira do Jatobá. The park is home to the highest waterfall in Mato Grosso (almost 250 meters) and the fourth highest in the country. A spectacular canyon with lush vegetation surrounded by red rocks. Count on 3 to 4 hours of climbing. With a guide.
