The Mimoso River valley is home to ten waterfalls surrounded by preserved riparian forest, setting the pace for every stage of the experience. The 500-meter crossing by solar-powered electric boat takes place in silence — only the sound of the water announces the waterfalls ahead.
The 2,800-meter trail (round trip) crosses stream beds, passes over suspended walkways, and leads to natural pools of different shapes and sizes. Of the ten waterfalls along the route, nine are open for swimming, but water flow varies according to the season: during the dry season, some waterfalls may have reduced flow and swimming may be limited.

The electric boat crossing is more than just transportation — it is a 500-meter silent glide through the riparian forest powered by solar energy, and it is here that the pace of the tour is established. The contrast between the silence of the boat and the sound of the waterfalls marks the transition between contemplation and physical activity.

How a Day at Estância Mimosa Works
The itinerary follows a natural progression that alternates physical effort and reward at each waterfall.
Those looking for pure adrenaline may be disappointed — this experience offers contemplation, peaceful swimming, and a hearty meal, not rappelling or rapids.
The entire day was designed for visitors to fully enjoy the experience, and this rhythm is what makes Estância Mimosa such a great option for families and small groups.
The farm reception area includes lockers, restrooms with changing rooms, and showers — providing all the facilities needed for visitors arriving by transfer and preparing for the trail.
Groups are limited to a maximum of 10 people, with departures every 30 minutes, ensuring a relaxed pace without overcrowding at the swimming spots. This group size limitation is intentional and preserves the experience for those who prefer the tranquility of the forest.
The route begins with a 500-meter ride aboard a solar-powered electric boat through the riparian forest of the Mimoso River.
Its silent propulsion allows visitors to hear the water before seeing it, setting the tone for the rest of the day. It is not merely transportation between points — it is an introduction that prepares visitors for the rhythm of walking and relaxing that follows.
On foot, the route reveals the first waterfalls, suspended walkways, and viewpoints overlooking the Mimoso River valley.
The pace alternates between hiking and swimming, with stops at natural pools throughout the 2,800-meter trail. Each uphill section is rewarded by a waterfall shortly afterward, while the viewpoints provide strategic resting spots for those who need to catch their breath.
Back at the headquarters, lunch is already included in the tour price and is served from a traditional wood-burning stove featuring typical dishes from Mato Grosso do Sul.
Hot dishes, salads, vegan options, and homemade desserts complete the experience. Visitors who wish to stay longer can enjoy the hammock area, souvenir shop, and an alligator lagoon for observation before returning.

“The tour is very well organized, the trails are beautiful, the waterfalls are stunning, and the photos turned out simply incredible. I can’t swim, but with the guide’s instructions, using a life jacket and float, I was able to enter the waterfall safely and enjoy the experience. The delicious homemade food served buffet-style and the farm’s dulce de leche are amazing!”

“The tour route includes more than 2,000 meters of trails with several swimming stops. It is good to come prepared, as the tour includes many ascents and descents, but the scenery is spectacular! Worth every effort. The food is very good and included in the ticket price. Special mention to the homemade sweets and dulce de leche.”

“Amazing trail, easy to intermediate difficulty level. My 5-year-old son completed it and absolutely loved it. The guide was extremely attentive, kind, and concerned about everyone’s safety. The highlight was seeing the alligators in the river and the capybara family so close to the restaurant. The lunch was delicious.”
