This waterfall was amazing. It felt like a wild animal in the savannah or a boar in the water. 😅

The Rio Couro is said to be the "most trout-rich river in the universe". There is a small waterfall, reservoirs and several cascades here. Behind the house there is a small ramp on the right, from which you have a good view of the area.
