Iracema Waterfall

Presidente Figuiredo, Amazonas, 69735-000

The basics

Cascading roughly 26 feet (8 meters) over the side of a gorge, Iracema Waterfall is a wonder of nature. It can be found via the many trails through the Amazon rainforest in Presidente Figueiredo, and its pools make a welcome break from the humidity after a long hike. Travelers can access the forest trails on their own; however, there are also many day trips and tours that offer guided treks, some combined with visits to nearby caves and other waterfalls.

When to get there

It can get busy here during local holidays and in the afternoons, especially on Sundays. Take advantage of the cooler temperatures of the mornings and head down to Iracema early to make the most of your day. The falls are at their most powerful between March and July, so the water levels might be too dangerous for swimming this time of year; if you’re hoping to take a dip, plan your visit between September and January instead.
