Cachoeira Almécegas I

A wide ≈50 m drop with the Morro da Baleia in the background. On Fazenda São Bento, between Alto Paraíso and São Jorge.

Same farm — São Bento

Almécegas I, Almécegas II and São Bento sit on the same farm behind a single gate — easy to combine in one day. Pajé falls (the "Almécegas III") are reached through the Aldeia Multiétnica, by a different route on the same land.
