Cachoeira Iracema, Waterfall in Presidente Figueiredo, Brazil.
Cachoeira Iracema is a waterfall in Presidente Figueiredo that drops through dense forest vegetation, forming several natural pools at different levels. The water has carved rock formations that create a series of cascading basins throughout the site.
The waterfall region became known to outsiders during 19th-century exploration when travelers mapped the Amazon area for natural resources. These early expeditions led to the first recorded awareness of the falls and its surroundings.
Local communities view this waterfall as part of their natural heritage, deeply woven into how people understand their relationship with the rainforest. Visitors often notice how the falls mark seasonal changes in water flow and forest activity.
The site is accessible year-round, though rain makes rocks and paths slippery and more hazardous to navigate. Wearing proper footwear and moving carefully over wet surfaces are essential for staying safe.
Over time the water has carved natural stone shelves that allow visitors to swim at different heights along the drop. These sculpted surfaces offer surprisingly comfortable spots to sit and cool off in the water.
