Cachoeira do Tobogã
Cachoeira do Tobogã / Cachoeira da Penha
Smooth, sloping boulders form a natural slide where locals ride down standing up, with a small chapel at Penha nearby.
Located in the Penha area about 9 km from Paraty toward Cunha, a stream runs over a long, smooth boulder to form a natural slide. You can slide in sitting down, or stand and ride it like the locals, plunging into the pool below in a thrilling way. Beside it stands the 18th-century Nossa Senhora da Penha chapel, and nearby Tarzan Pool offers spots for jumping. The site can be reached by bus or by car, and entry is free. The rock is slippery, and when the rainy season swells the water, take care. Weekends are crowded.
