Monumento Natural Cachoeira do Ferro Doido, Natural monument in Morro do Chapéu, Brazil
The Ferro Doido Waterfall drops 80 meters into a canyon, forming four distinct water cascades during the rainy season in the Chapada Diamantina region.
The natural monument, established by state decree in 1998, encompasses 400 hectares of protected land containing archaeological sites with rock paintings from ancient civilizations.
The area serves as a research center for the Brazilian Geological Service, attracting scientists who study the five different geological formations present in the region.
Located 18 kilometers from Morro do Chapéu center, the monument entrance requires a 650-meter walk on a mild trail to reach the upper viewpoint.
The protected area houses endangered species including the Chilean eagle and the endemic golden hummingbird found exclusively in this Brazilian region.
