Zé Carlinhos

Cachoeira Zé Carlinhos is a waterfall on the Ribeirão das Posses, set within the Vale da Gurita in the Serra da Canastra region of Minas Gerais.

Administratively located in the municipality of São Roque de Minas, it is most commonly accessed via Delfinópolis, roughly 25–32 km from that town's center. It is considered one of the most voluminous waterfalls in the Serra da Canastra.

The site features two distinct drops. The first is easily reached by a short walk and forms a rocky beach alongside a natural pool — shallow in places, deep in others — well suited for swimming.

The second fall requires a steeper, more demanding trail but rewards visitors with a dramatic curtain of water framing itself between two rock walls, with its own swimming hole below.

Together the falls offer a wide, expansive flow rather than a single tall plunge.
