Cascata Rio Preto
Cascata Rio Preto
Cascata Rio Preto is a waterfall located on the Rio Preto within Chapada Diamantina National Park in Bahia.
Situated near the village of Vale do Capão, it is one of the more accessible waterfalls in the park and draws both locals and visitors looking for a straightforward day outing.
The waterfall is typically reached via a short downhill hike of around five to ten minutes from the first official park signpost. It pairs well with a visit to the nearby Rodas waterfall, and combining both in a single day trip is a popular option.
Note that mobile networks are unreliable in the Vale do Capão area, so carrying an offline map or GPS device is recommended before setting out.
