The park is situated in a region known as the 'Capital of Ecocamping' due to the concentration of outdoor recreational facilities in Alfredo Wagner.
The water used in the natural pools is sourced directly from crystalline mountain springs originating from the local Serra Geral highlands.
The site integrates traditional water park amenities with the rugged geological features of the Upper Itajaí Valley.
The location is specifically positioned to minimize wind exposure, keeping the microclimate slightly warmer than the surrounding higher altitudes.
Water Park Salto Das Aguas is a recreational complex located in the mountainous region of Alfredo Wagner, Santa Catarina. The park features a series of natural pools fed by mountain streams and a variety of concrete pools with water slides. Its topography is defined by the surrounding Atlantic Forest and the proximity to the Itajaí do Sul river basin. The infrastructure includes dedicated picnic zones, barbecue pits, and on-site dining options. Visitors primarily use the space for swimming, sunbathing, and outdoor gatherings during warmer months. The facility is situated directly off the SC-350 highway, providing accessible integration with the local natural landscape.

Bring your own grilling supplies if you intend to use the picnic areas, as these facilities are high-demand.
Water shoes are recommended for the natural pool areas due to the uneven stone riverbeds.
Apply high-SPF sunscreen as the mountain sun is deceptive, even on partially cloudy days.
Do not attempt to swim in the unmarked sections of the river outside the park perimeter, as currents can be unpredictable.
Closed during the winter months (May through September); open daily during the high summer season.
Proper swimwear is required in all pools; outdoor footwear must be removed before entering designated indoor dining or changing areas.
