Cachoeira Ponte de Pedra

Verified

A waterfall that passes through a natural stone arch, at Reserva Renascer in Cavalcante (access via the dirt road from Cavalcante toward Colinas do Sul, at KM 9). A rock formation about 30 m high and 1.8 billion years old — one of the oldest spots in the Chapada, a true open-air museum. The Rio São Domingos runs through the arch; about 100 m below, the canyon opens up, with an infinity-edge waterfall of roughly 70 m and two lookouts (views of the Catingueiro and of the Ponte de Pedra itself). There's a stretch you drive to the parking area before setting foot on the trail.
