Step onto one of Latin America’s largest glass platforms and peer 360 meters down into Vale da Ferradura. This combined Skyglass and Iron Memorial ticket pairs a high-altitude skywalk with a compact museum on the region’s iron heritage.

You step onto glass and the valley answers—wind threading through the cables as the Skyglass platform leans 68 meters past the cliff, suspended 360 meters above the bed of the Caí River. The first few steps are deliberate: the glass is solid but the view opens into a broad horseshoe of forested slopes and a river that seems to dare you to look down.
