Verdadeiramente vale a pena conhecer. O local é lindo, com boa estrutura, local limpo, muito bem cuidado, com as maravilhas da natureza. Cansativo principalmente se for no meio do dia, se preparem, com mochilas, levando agua e barrinhas cereais ou outros alimentos. não recomendo a segunda trilha após a taça neste horário. Sugiro final da tarde, na época do colar. Após os arenitos, ainda tem outros dois passeios, lago dourado e furnas, todos com condução do parque até os locais.

The guide was excellent and spoke English well. And the views were superb. We did a lot of walking and were tired at the end, a good tired.

Booked and received email confirmation. On the day no one arrived at the agreed time to pick me up. Tried calling however no one spoke English so tried emailing and had no response. After getting someone who spoke some Portuguese to ring I was finally picked up 2.5 hours after the agreed time by a local guide Vivienne in her car.
It was just me on the tour, Vivienne was great at explaining local history etc., I can’t fault Vivienne in the service she provided.
Being a Monday, the Park was very quiet and had it to myself which was lovely. Spent about 3 hours in the park. The Golden Lake wasn’t really worth seeing.
Being a Monday, the German restaurant was closed so we went to a Brazilian restaurant which was a buffet lunch at a highway stop restaurant. It was average compared to some of the restaurants I’ve eaten at in Brazil.
Didn’t get to see some things offered in the tour because they were closed.
Overall I don’t think it was worth $220 (Aus) - you could find a cheaper way to do the Park.
