Cachoeira do Tabuleiro, 273-meter waterfall in Conceição do Mato Dentro, Brazil.

Cachoeira do Tabuleiro is a free-falling waterfall of 273 metres on the ribeirão do Campo, dropping from a fissured cliff banded in red-brown, grey and near-black rock in the serra do Espinhaço. The narrow white stream leaves a notch at the top, widens slightly as it descends and lands in a dark pool about 20 metres deep, ringed by large boulders, some submerged. Green slopes frame the fall on both sides.

The waterfall lies within the Tabuleiro Municipal Natural Park, created by Municipal Decree 158 of 1998 and regulated by Municipal Law 2,063 of 2013, in the Tabuleiro district about 19 km from the seat of Conceição do Mato Dentro. The protected area is part of the Serra do Intendente complex, in the southern Serra do Espinhaço, and shelters the falls, the rupestrian grasslands and the springs that feed the stream.

The waterfall gives its name to the Tabuleiro district, about 19 km from the seat of Conceição do Mato Dentro, and is treated as one of the region's postcards. Above the main drop, the stream forms smaller pools and falls among large orchids and bromeliads, plants visitors pass on the upper trails.

The park is open daily from 8:00 to 17:00. The upper trail is only released early in the morning and the pool trail until early afternoon, and about 450 visitors are admitted per day. The Mirante Trail runs roughly 700 metres to a viewpoint, is steep and takes about twenty minutes on foot.

The 273-metre drop makes it the highest waterfall in Minas Gerais and the third highest in Brazil, a figure comparable to a building of more than ninety floors. The pool at its base is about 20 metres deep, and some of the huge stone blocks around it lie submerged.
