Poço do Diabo
A waterfall pool a 20-minute walk from the BR-242 highway, where you can swim and jump. Guides also offer abseiling and zip lines from the cliffs.
Poço do Diabo, or Devil’s Pool, sits on the Mucugezinho River beside the BR-242 highway. From a small roadside restaurant, follow the riverbank for about 20 minutes to reach a waterfall about 20 metres high and a dark, deep pool. You can swim here, and guides offer abseiling and zip lines from the rock walls beside it. There are several small pools upstream. It is close to Morro do Pai Inácio and is a common lunchtime swimming stop on the northern route day trip. Visitors register at the restaurant and pay a small fee.
