Cachoeira do São Bento is a lush cascade in Brazil’s Serra da Mantiqueira region, ideal for photographers chasing soft mist, mossy rocks, and layered greenery. Best light comes in the morning when spray is illuminated but shadows are gentle; weekdays reduce crowding. Access is rural—confirm road conditions before arriving; bring water, rain protection, and expect limited formal facilities.
