Cachoeira Do Ramalho
Cachoeira Do Ramalho
Cachoeira do Ramalho is a striking waterfall located in the municipality of Andaraí, in Bahia's Chapada Diamantina region.
Formed by the Rio Baiano, it plunges roughly 85–90 metres in a free fall into a dramatic rocky canyon, making it one of the most impressive waterfalls in the area.
Two medium-difficulty trails serve the site, one at the base and one at the top, and both offer distinct perspectives of the falls.
Visitors approaching from below can swim through the canyon to reach the waterfall face-to-face — an experience described as thrilling given the towering walls of rock surrounding it.
The site also encompasses a complex of additional cascades known as the "Three Falls of Ramalho," extending the exploration possibilities considerably.
While Cachoeira do Ramalho is most spectacular during the flood season, when water volume is at its peak, the canyon and viewpoints remain visually rewarding throughout the year, including the dry season.
