Cachoeira Santo Isidro, Waterfall in Serra da Bocaina National Park, Brazil
The Santo Isidro Waterfall descends 80 meters into a natural pool, surrounded by Atlantic Forest vegetation and rocky formations within the national park boundaries.
The waterfall area preserves traces of early Portuguese settlements and indigenous communities that inhabited the Serra da Bocaina region during colonial times.
Local communities maintain traditional practices of environmental conservation, including the planting of native trees for each visitor to the waterfall area.
Visitors need to complete a 45-minute walk from the park entrance, crossing streams and a bridge before reaching the waterfall observation point.
The waterfall features a sandy beach area at its base, creating a natural swimming environment where the water temperature remains constant throughout the year.

Southeast Brazil combines beaches, caves, waterfalls and mountain villages. The region includes historical sites, nature parks and islands with few visitors. The locations display Brazilian culture and nature in their original form.
Brazil has numerous waterfalls and hot springs across its varied landscapes. At Iguaçu, water flows over 275 individual falls. The Chapada Diamantina region contains several waterfalls, including the 1,247-foot (380-meter) Cachoeira da Fumaça. Serra da Canastra is home to the 610-foot (186-meter) Casca d'Anta waterfall. Natural pools with clear water are found at Poço Azul and Lagoa Azul. The thermal springs at Ibirá provide mineral water at constant temperature. These locations are distributed across different regions of Brazil, from the southern Serra Gaúcha with Caracol cascade to the tablelands of Jalapão in the north. The waterfalls vary in height and volume. Some plunge over steep rock faces, while others flow through narrow canyons. Several of these sites are located in national parks or protected areas.
