Bromeliad Valley Waterfall
A 35-metre veil waterfall in the heart of protected Atlantic Forest, with a swimming pool and a 1.8 km trail among bromeliads and palm trees.
Hidden at the bottom of Bromeliad Valley, the waterfall drops 35 metres like a veil over a moss-covered rock wall. Getting there is part of the fun: the trail follows the stream, crosses two wooden bridges and runs through Atlantic Forest full of palm trees, tree ferns and hundreds of bromeliads clinging to the trunks.
The trail
- Gate and visitor centre: information, toilets and walking pole rental.
- Stream Bridge (500 m): first photo stop.
- Bromeliad Viewpoint (1.2 km): a view of the falls from afar.
- Waterfall Pool (1.8 km): resting and swimming area.
Licensed local guides lead groups on Saturdays and Sundays, departing at 9 am and 1 pm. Book by phone.
