THE SÃO FRANCISCO RIVER, NEARBY ITS SOURCE, AT THE TOP OF THE CANASTRA MOUNTAIN RANGE, JUST ABOUT TO FALL DOWN IN THE CASCA D'ANTA WATERFALL !

Giving a break on my CAMPINAS series, I decided to post this picture for this special occasion because those natural elements and their beauty make me feel a bit better during my stressing daily routine (work, cars, pollution, concrete etc.)!

"The region of the Canastra Mountain Range has over 200 thousand hectares and comprehends 6 municipalities:

São Roque de Minas,
Vargem Bonita,
Delfinópolis,
Sacramento,
São João Batista do Glória and
Capitólio.

The biggest attraction is the Serra da Canastra National Park, created in 1972 to protect the springs of the São Francisco River and which has the main entrance 8 km from São Roque de Minas.

Inside the National Park there are some of the most beautiful postcards of Brazil, as the Casca D'Anta waterfall, with almost 200 meters, the first great fall of the São Francisco River."
