There are no time restrictions here, however, to get the most out of your day in Presidente Figueiredo, it makes sense to travel there earlier in the morning so you have time to see as many of the falls and caves as possible. The morning is also cooler, and the falls can get busier during the late afternoon.
As well as plenty of scenic trails to hike within the jungle of Presidente Figueiredo, there are many pools, waterfalls, and underground swimming holes where you can cool off, from Judeia Grotto (Gruta da Judéia) to Urubui Park (Parque Urubuí). Swimming in the waterfalls of the Amazon rainforest is a unique experience, and by following the Presidente Figueiredo trails, you will come across spots beckoning for you to dip your toes in.
