Cascata Diamantina (Diamantina Waterfall) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Cascata Diamantina is one of the most beautiful waterfalls of Tijuca National Park. Accessed by an easy-difficulty hike, this waterfall is hidden on the middle of the woods, with clear and cold waters. The rocks around it form a kind of natural sanctuary illuminated by the sun, what makes the place more special and private. When you are next to the waterfall, in the middle of the woods, it’s even difficult to believe that you are on one of the largest and most vibrant cities of Brazil.

If you’re inclined, you can get to know some more waterfalls around. Cascata da Baronesa (Baronesa Waterfall) for example, is easy to access, have a little fall you fresh water and is very next to the beginning of the hike to Cascata Diamantina. Not far away is Cascata Gabriela (Gabriela Waterfall), with it tiny fall and a beautiful pool of clean and fresh water where you can dive and have fun with your family, even enjoying a picnic near the waters. A bit more far away is Cascatinha Taunay (Taunay Waterfall), with it beauty and big fall by the rocks.

A trail connects the parking with Cascata Diamantina. The hike takes around 15 minutes and don’t have any big difficult.
