Cascata de Praia Pesqueira, Waterfall and scenic viewpoint in São João dos Angolares, São Tomé and Príncipe.
The Pesqueira waterfall flows directly into the Atlantic Ocean, creating a natural intersection between fresh mountain water and ocean waves.
Local fishermen established their settlement near the waterfall in the early 20th century, using its fresh water source for their daily activities.
Residents of Ribeira Peixe gather at the waterfall for traditional activities, including washing clothes and collecting drinking water.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by following a 10-kilometer path south of São João dos Angolares, through a wooden house village.
The Complexo Miobá observation point, opened in 2022, provides views of both the waterfall and the volcanic Pico Cão Grande formation.
