Cachoeira Itaporani

Cachoeira Itaporani is a waterfall located in the lower section of Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, set along the Rio Campo Belo.

It sits approximately 640 meters from the bridge at the Complexo do Maromba, reached via an easy trail that winds through dense forest, passing between and beneath large boulders that form natural cave-like passages.

A wooden staircase leads down to the falls, where a pool surrounds the base. The waterfall drops within a natural amphitheater of vegetation, creating a notably tranquil atmosphere.

Space around the falls is limited, which can make solitude harder to find on weekends and holidays. The trail is rated easy and is suitable for families.

Visitors can also reach the area by car to the Maromba parking lot, reducing the walking distance considerably.
