Cachoeira do Prumirim
A rainforest waterfall beside the BR-101 highway, where water slides down the rock face into a natural pool. It is only a few minutes from the road, a good way to cool off between beach days.
Cachoeira do Prumirim lies beside the BR-101 highway in northern Ubatuba, close to Prumirim Beach. It is the easiest waterfall in the area to reach: from a roadside parking spot it is about a 5-minute walk. The roughly 20-metre waterfall slides down a sloping granite face into a natural swimming pool at its base, and people often sit on the gentle sections of rock to slide down. At the entrance you'll find a privately run car park and food stalls, and a small parking or entry fee is charged. Note: the rocks are slippery, so don't climb above the waterfall, and never swim after heavy rain, when the water rises quickly.
