Cachoeira Da Caverna

Cachoeira da Caverna is a waterfall located about 15 kilometers from the center of Serra do Cipó, in Minas Gerais, reached via a dirt road accessible even to low-clearance vehicles.

The falls are situated in the upper part of the mountain, near Cachoeira da Serra Morena, and are notable for their naturally greenish water — an effect created by the interplay of light and surrounding vegetation.

The waterfall features a natural infinity-edge drop and includes additional smaller cascades above the main plunge. The trail from the entrance is short and easy, ranging from roughly 300 to 800 meters depending on the route, and is suitable for all ages.

Beyond the waterfall itself, the site sits close to the Rio Parauninha, where deep pools offer good swimming. The broader trail also passes cave paintings and leads through the Travessão Valley.
