Cascata do Avencal

Cascata do Avencal is a waterfall roughly 100 meters tall in Urubici, where water plunges down a curved rock face. The surrounding landscape features steep mountain slopes and dense vegetation that frames the drop.

The site was once open to the public without restrictions before becoming part of a managed park. This shift created a more organized space for visitors to experience the waterfall safely.

The name comes from a local fern species that grows on the cliff walls, representing the natural vegetation typical of this mountain region. These plants frame the view as you look at the waterfall and its surroundings.

The site has several viewing areas where you can see the waterfall from different angles. Access is through marked trails that wind through the natural surroundings.

The site features a glass observation platform that extends over the cliff edge for a direct view downward. A cable system allows visitors to float suspended above the waterfall itself.
