Small, sheltered waterfall set in lush Atlantic Forest near Paraisópolis — ideal for close-up cascade details, silky long exposures, and intimate portraiture by rock pools. Visit after light rains for stronger flow but avoid heavy runoff. Best light: early morning or late afternoon for soft side-light; overcast days give even exposures. Access via an unnamed road and short hike; wear grippy shoes. Limited informal parking; respect local property and keep noise low — the site is valued by locals.
