A lush tropical forest surrounds the waterfall, home to a wide variety of fauna and flora.

Agouti Waterfall
Located within the Iguaçu National Park, the Cutia Waterfall stands out for its natural bathtubs formed by stones.
It is a perfect place to relax during the day, a great walk for those who want to rest and take a beautiful waterfall bath.
Access to the Cutia Waterfall is via the Onça Trail, which is about 7.5 km long and has other stunning waterfalls, such as the Macaquinhos waterfall, which we will talk about below.
Macaquinhos Waterfall
Following the Onça Trail, it is also possible to reach the Macaquinhos Waterfall.
The route is about 1.5 km long, surrounded by centenary trees and with the presence of distinguished residents, such as the capuchin monkeys, which give the attraction its name.
At the end of the route, the visitor can enjoy a 15-meter-high waterfall, with the formation of natural pools for a refreshing bath.
The more adventurous can also go rappelling in the region – always with the supervision of a qualified professional, of course.
Macuco Waterfall

Carimã Waterfall
Another waterfall option for a peaceful bath is the Cachoeira do Carimã, located on the trail of the same name.
The route is considered easy and the reward at the end of the route is a unique waterfall, as Cachoeira do Carimã has a greater volume of water compared to neighboring waterfalls, such as Lontra, for example.
