Sights in Morrinhos do Sul
- rivers
- Morro do Forno Waterfall
- Lagoon of Morro do Forno
- Tio Paulo Waterfalls
- Canyons of Morrinhos do Sul
Morrinhos is surrounded by beautiful hills (canyons) and between the hills the rivers cross: Do Mengue and Rio dos Negros.
Many parts of the river provide wonderful baths, in its crystalline and fresh waters. Over the years, with a lot of rain, the river is transformed, in some places there are wells with a depth of up to 3 meters and perfect for enjoying nature.
Tip: if you have never taken a river bath, the ideal is to have a guide or talk to the owners of the inns, to inform them about how it works and the weather conditions.
On closed days with rain forecast, the ideal is to stay away from the river, as it is dangerous. A flood of water can come down and if you are in the river, some tragedy happens (such as drowning). So, always question the locals, get informed and enjoy paradise!
THE Lagoon of Morro do Forno it is an epic place and with an incredible view, take the opportunity to enjoy the sunrise.

As it is a smaller municipality, and focused on agriculture and tourism, it is easier to visualize how much the municipality grows each year.
