Yeso River Hydrological Station

Durval Menezes

This is an hydrological station (dedicated to measuring the water level) on the Yeso River, about 200m from the main road. It seems to be inactive and visitors are free to walk around as there are no notices posted, and there is no fence. There's a main construction right on the river with a rule-like water-level meter (see pictures) and on top of it, a pole with a solar panel and an Yagi antenna, presumably to power the measuring equipment and to send its measurements to some central monitoring location. There's also a small steel-and-wood bridge crossing the river to the other side (with some wood panels missing/out-of-place, so if you decide to cross, be *very* careful and do so at your own risk). Very interesting spot for a stopover and some hiking/exploration, but please don't leave any garbage and do not depredate, help preserve the place so future visitors can enjoy it.
