Discover Machadinho: Water, Nature and Culture

Machadinho offers a range of ways to spend your stay: Thermas Machadinho is centred around several pools and water slides, while waterfalls, museums and regional products appeal to other interests. When choosing a holiday apartment or house, which side of the town you would especially like to explore may therefore be a deciding factor. The experiences described range from water activities and nature to insights into history and crafts.

Pools and water slides at Thermas Machadinho

Thermas Machadinho has a shallow children’s pool with safety features. There is also a wet ramp, a small slide and three water slides. A tropical pool and a pool bar complete the facilities. This water area offers various features to consider when planning a day out together: a shallow pool with safety features, several slides and a place to relax at the pool bar. Which of these is most appealing to your travel group depends on whether you would rather focus on the pools, the slides or a combination of these options.

Waterfalls and outdoor activities

Cascata do Tigre combines a visit to a waterfall with an ecological hiking trail. The trail has stairs and handrails, and the site also includes a themed cave. These specific features give the visit its own character. If you choose this destination, you can take both the trail and its stairs and the cave into account when planning your visit.

Invernada dos Macacos offers a different natural setting, with two waterfalls measuring 60 and 20 metres in height. Tourist activities there also include zip-lining, rappelling and hikes. The waterfalls and activities appeal to different interests. You can therefore consider whether to focus your outing on the waterfalls, a hike or one of the other activities mentioned.

History, views and rural crafts

Mirante e Museu Torres is located in the towers of Igreja Matriz Nossa Senhora do Rosário and offers panoramic views of Machadinho. The viewpoint and museum are combined in one place. Museu Alma Campeira is in the centre of Machadinho; its extensive collection is devoted to the history of the region’s ancestors. Those interested in the past can therefore find two different perspectives: views across the town and a collection about regional history.

Arts and crafts and natural products are also among the discoveries described here. Casa da Família Rural is known for products made in the countryside. It complements the museum visits with a look at handcrafted and natural products. At Cachaçaria Acanhadinha, visitors can sample liqueurs made at the still. If you are interested in regional products, this visit offers a different focus from the viewpoints, museums or nature.

Which holiday rental is right for your stay?

You can choose your accommodation based on the experiences that matter to you: the water area at Thermas, waterfalls and outdoor activities, or museums, views and regional products. When looking for a holiday apartment or house, you can first decide what you want to focus on during your holiday, without combining the different attractions into a single route.
