Cachoeira Do Caldeirão

Cachoeira do Caldeirão is a natural waterfall located in the settlement of Vereda de Baixo, within the municipality of Barra do Mendes in Bahia.

It is considered one of the area's notable natural attractions, drawing visitors who seek a connection with the region's landscapes and scenery.

The waterfall sits along the Rio do Caldeirão ou Roncador, a river in the Chapada Diamantina known for its scenic beauty and swimming spots.

The river carves natural pools and small caldeirões — basin-like formations shaped by erosion in the pinkish sandstone bedrock — making the area well suited for swimming and relaxing.

Access to the river can be made by trail or by boat crossing, depending on the starting point.
