Waterfall

Message from Mariana Wengorovius

We found this spot on the way to São Miguel Waterfall. When walking from the São Miguel Waterfall parking lot to the waterfall itself, you'll come across a hidden path with no people, where you can take a swim and enjoy nature more peacefully. There are two ways to reach this spot:

1. While walking toward São Miguel Waterfall, you'll pass a bridge. Before crossing the bridge, take the small path on your right (the official entrance to the waterfall is on the left). Follow the dirt path straight ahead through the bushes, guided by the sound of the water, and you'll reach this little paradise.

2. If you don't find the path near the bridge, there's an easier option: head to the official path on your left as you face the bridge. After descending to the waterfall area, you'll see the water flowing between rocks beneath the bridge. Follow the water carefully, as the rocks can be slippery, and you'll find this peaceful spot after passing under the bridge.

It's a calm place with small natural pools and large rocks where you can lie down and soak up the sun.
