See options for those who don’t like salt water […]
At over 7,600 kilometers in length, Brazil’s coast is the most sought-after scenery for those traveling through the country.
But since not all Brazilians travel in salt water and sand, the Travel by fare I made this selection of destinations for those who want to bathe in a waterfall.
From discreet waterfalls in the southeast to the powerful Chapada Diamantina waterfall, see a list of some of the most scenic waterfalls in the country.

It is located in Serra Verde Imperial, 70 km from the capital Rio de Janeiro, and is known for the Waterfall Circuit, which can be covered with a tour on board a jeep. Among the best known are Garrafão, Escorrega and Vale da Lua.
However, Guapimirim’s most famous environment is the Serra dos Órgãos National Park, considered the largest hiking network in Brazil, with over 200km of trails.
For those who do not intend to undertake the challenging crossing between Petrópolis and Teresópolis, Mirante do Soberbo is one of the best observation points of this peak at 1,692 meters above sea level, considered the starting point of mountaineering in Brazil.

Almost 30 km from the capital Tocantins, it is a perfect destination for those going to or coming from Jalapão, the main tourist attraction of the state.
This neighborhood of Palmas has more than 80 cataloged waterfalls, including Evilson, Roncador and Escorrega Macaco, with waterfalls ranging in height from 25 to 70 meters.
Chapada dos Veadeiros
Goias
Made up of five municipalities (Alto Paraíso, Cavalcante, Teresina de Goiás, Colinas do Sul and São João d’Aliança), it is almost impossible to list all the waterfall possibilities in this tourist region in the north-east of Goiás.
Among the favorites of Travel by farewe point out those of the Complexo do Prata, in Cavalcante, and Label, in São João da Aliança, considered the highest in the state, with 187 meters of height.
Serra do Roncador
Mato Grosso
More than 500 km from Cuiabá, the destination is famous for the waterfalls that hide in the cracks that cut through the valleys of this imposing mountain range that reaches up to the Serra do Cachimbo, in Pará.
In Barra de Garças alone, the base town for those visiting the destination, there are more than 100 waterfalls (17 of which are in the Bateia Complex, one of the most exclusive and isolated attractions in the region).
There is a waterfall that is accessed through a cave, where it is possible to reach it behind the veil of water, a waterfall inside a canyon decorated with centuries-old Jatobá trees and also one where (almost) no one knows where it is, but which will make you revise your concepts of natural scenic beauty.
Chapada Diamantina
Bay
From Salvador it is 420 km to Lençóis, the main base for those visiting the region.
From there, several trails lead to some of Brazil’s highest waterfalls, such as the powerful 340-meter-high Cachoeira da Fumaça in Vale do Capão.
Chapada das Mesas
Maranhao
Very close to the border with Tocantins, it is a vast protected area with 400 springs, 22 perennial rivers and around 89 waterfalls, among many other waterfalls not yet cataloged or open to the public.
220 km from Imperatriz, where the main gate of the destination is located, this plateau is known as Paraíso das Águas.

Amazon
Located in the Lower Rio Negro, north of Manaus, the “Land of Waterfalls” has more than 100 cataloged waterfalls.
All this in the middle of the woods and among caves, caves and waterfalls of all sizes. During the river’s flood season, between February and June, you can also go rafting, tubing, kayaking, ziplining and abseiling.
And to avoid making mistakes when choosing your favorite waterfall, remember that the options range from crowded addresses that look like weekend clubs to more isolated and difficult to access waterfalls.
