Cachoeira Do Samuel

Cachoeira do Samuel is a striking 100-metre waterfall on the Rio Roncador, located near the town of Andaraí in the Chapada Diamantina region of Bahia. The sheer height of its drop makes it one of the more impressive falls in the area.

Beyond its natural spectacle, the waterfall carries significant historical weight. The Rio Roncador valley was once a hub of diamond mining activity, and Cachoeira do Samuel witnessed many of the events and passages tied to that era.

A visit here offers both a dramatic landscape and a tangible connection to the cultural history that shaped this part of Bahia.
