Urubici combines a specific planning requirement with very different discoveries: For Morro da Igreja and Pedra Furada, a physical ticket booked in advance must be picked up at the national park headquarters in town before your visit. The Igreja Matriz is also located in the center, while the municipality is home to Cascata Véu de Noiva and the Travessias Morro Agudo. Planning therefore ranges from picking up your ticket and visiting a central cultural landmark to exploring landscapes and activities across the municipality.

Plan your ticket pickup before your visit

The official ICMBio visitor information, updated on September 4, 2026, requires a physical ticket booked in advance for Morro da Igreja and Pedra Furada. The ticket must be picked up at the national park headquarters in Urubici before your visit. Include this step early in your day’s plans; before traveling, also check the latest visitor information and coordinate the pickup with your planned visit.

A cultural landmark in the center

The Igreja Matriz is located in the center of Urubici and offers a cultural point of interest alongside the natural attractions. When choosing what to focus on, it is a clear alternative to the waterfall, rock formation, and active trails. This gives you a way to understand Urubici not only through its landscape destinations but also through a centrally located cultural landmark.

Waterfall and tree-top adventure at Cascata Véu de Noiva

In the municipality, Cascata Véu de Noiva features a distinctive flow of water: It glides over large rocks instead of falling freely, despite the 62-meter drop. What defines it is not just its height but also the way the water flows over the rock. The Cascata is also described as having a 260-meter-long suspension bridge, located ten meters above the ground among the tree canopies, for arvorismo (aerial adventure activities). This gives you two different things to consider when planning a visit to the Cascata: the water flowing over the rocks and an elevated activity among the tree canopies. Check whether arvorismo is currently available before visiting.

Trails with varying levels of difficulty

The Travessias Morro Agudo include trails of varying levels of difficulty; access is only permitted with a guide. Check the current guide arrangements before visiting. Choosing a trail therefore involves more than just its level of difficulty: Having a guide is another specific planning requirement, just like the type of trail. This makes choosing the Travessias Morro Agudo different from the arvorismo option described at the waterfall: Here, trail difficulty and the guide requirement are the relevant factors. Take both into account before fitting the hike into your stay.

The view of Pedra Furada

From Morro da Igreja, visitors can see Pedra Furada, a rock formation that resembles a large natural window. Morro da Igreja is 29 km from the center of Urubici. This is a different spatial scale from the Igreja Matriz in the center: When planning where to stay, you can consider both the ticket pickup location in town and this more distant landscape highlight.
