Morro da Baleia is a landmark on the skyline between Alto Paraíso and São Jorge, visible from different points along the road and the bike path. Its former name, Serra do Ferro de Engomar, referred to the shape of a clothes iron. The current name is also a reading of its silhouette, which resembles a whale.
The trail reported for the Bailarina area starts with a steep climb, including steps, and continues among pale rocks and cerrado vegetation. The viewpoints reveal the Jardim de Maytréia, the Buracão and other features of the terrain. Cachoeira da Bailarina is seasonal, and its water depends on the rains.
The described route ends at the viewpoints. Access to the pool was not permitted, due to environmental fragility and the risk of falling rocks. Respect that restriction and also confirm that the route itself is authorized, given the park boundaries.
Confirm the price and what is included when booking.
The historical range helps compare outings; it is not the current rate and does not necessarily include a guide or transportation.
The approach to the trail uses a dirt side road off GO-239. Arrange the exact starting point with your guide and confirm a suitable car; the view from the paved road is not the same as reaching the Bailarina.
