"Simply stunning. Too bad it's too shallow for a dip close to the fall. Great spot for pictures and nature watching."
Guilherme Cavalcante
"A trilha para a Cachoeirinha e a Cachoeira dos Namorados é uma experiência memorável, merecendo 4 estrelas pela beleza natural e pela infraestrutura básica que permite um passeio agradável. A trilha é de dificuldade moderada, com trechos bem sinalizados, o que facilita o acesso mesmo para quem não é tão experiente em caminhadas. Ao longo do percurso, os visitantes são presenteados com paisagens incríveis, destacando a vegetação exuberante e o som relaxante das quedas d’água.
A Cachoeirinha é perfeita para um banho refrescante, com águas cristalinas e uma área segura para relaxar. Já a Cachoeira dos Namorados encanta pelo ambiente mais reservado e romântico, ideal para momentos de contemplação. No entanto, a trilha e as áreas de convivência poderiam ser melhor mantidas, especialmente em relação à limpeza e ao controle do fluxo de visitantes para preservar o ecossistema local. Com pequenas melhorias na infraestrutura e no monitoramento ambiental, o passeio poderia alcançar nota máxima."

"Trilha fácil e na sombra quase o tempo todo. Ao contrário do que dizem algumas avaliações a Cachoeirinha é imprópria para banho, mas é muito bonita. A cachoeira dos Namorados é fria mas pode-se tomar banho nela!"
