Itiquira Falls, Natural waterfall in Formosa, Brazil
The Itiquira Falls plunge 168 meters from the central plateau, creating a vertical cascade of clear water into the Paranã River valley.
The Itiquira River formed this geological structure over millions of years, carving through the Brazilian central plateau north of Formosa.
The municipal park surrounding the falls serves as an educational center where visitors learn about Brazilian water resources and geological formations.
Located 115 kilometers from Brasília, the falls are accessible via a paved road with marked trails leading to observation points.
Water from the Itiquira River above the falls maintains such purity that a bottling facility operates upstream from the cascade.
