Pedra Caida

Pedra Caida is a protected nature area featuring multiple waterfalls, natural pools, and elevated wooden walkways built over the vegetation. The site spans several elevation zones and includes viewing areas positioned above the cascades and surrounding formations.

Indigenous peoples performed ceremonies at key water features in this region for generations before it became formally protected. The transformation into a nature reserve reflected a shift toward conservation and public access to these sacred natural areas.

Local communities have long viewed the water features and rock formations here as spiritually significant places. Visitors today can sense this connection to the land as they walk through the vegetation and encounter the cascades that shape the landscape.

Visit early in the morning to take advantage of cooler temperatures and avoid peak visitor times on the walkways. Wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water, since the routes include rocky sections and steep passages between the cascades.

A viewing structure positioned at a high point in the landscape allows visitors to see multiple waterfalls and their cascades at once. This vantage point lets people understand the full scale and layout of the water features without having to walk through every trail.
