Cachoeira do Escorrega sits on the Rio do Soberbo in Guapimirim, Rio de Janeiro, and is officially known as Poço do Padre — though a smooth, slide-like rock formation near the falls long ago captured both visitors' attention and the popular name.

The natural rock chute delivers swimmers into a pool, making it a lively spot, though the slippery surface demands caution on the climb up and swimmers should be confident in the water, as the landing area is out of depth.

The pool itself is not deep enough for diving, but following the river reveals additional swimming holes.

Access is via km 100 of the Estrada da Barreira in the direction of Teresópolis, through Rogério's Bar e Restaurante, where free parking is available; from there it is a 300-meter walk to a green gate on the left.

The Rio do Soberbo originates in the Serra dos Órgãos and is known for rising rapidly during heavy rain, so visitors should monitor weather conditions before heading out.
