The Bride's Veil falls are among the best-known natural sights of Poços de Caldas, the hot-springs city of southern Minas Gerais, named for the white water that spills over the rocks like a bridal veil. The falls are fed by the Ribeirão das Antas, a stream that rises a few kilometres upstream, and the complex has three waterfalls, the tallest about ten metres high. The site has wooden bridges, trails, several lookouts, craft shops and free parking, and a small tourist train runs nearby. It can be combined with the city's other falls, such as the nearby Cascata das Antas, beside the ruins of an old hydroelectric plant. It suits a short walk and photographs, and looks best after the rainy season. Visiting is usually free; check conditions before going.
