Cachoeira do Segredo, Waterfall in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, Brazil.
The waterfall plunges 100 meters down rocky cliffs, forming a substantial natural pool surrounded by dense vegetation and stone formations.
Gold miners in the region kept the waterfall location secret during the colonial period to protect the area's natural resources from exploitation.
Local communities maintain traditional practices of guided tours, sharing knowledge about the native plants and wildlife encountered along the trail.
The hiking trail extends 8 kilometers each way, requiring river crossings and approximately 7 hours to complete the round trip journey.
The natural pool at the base maintains a constant cold temperature throughout the year, creating specific swimming conditions for visitors.
