Cachoeira Do Iconha

Cachoeira do Iconha, also known as the Cânions do Iconha, is a waterfall located in Guapimirim, in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro state, roughly 1. 5 to 2 hours from the capital.

It is reached via the Trilha do Teiú, a light-to-moderate trail of approximately 30 minutes that is considered family-friendly and well-marked with signage along the way.

The path to the falls passes through natural pools, small cascades, and scenic stretches of Atlantic forest, with two stream crossings required before reaching the main waterfall. The crossings are manageable but call for attention.

The falls themselves are set within a striking canyon landscape that rewards the short hike. Public transportation from Rio de Janeiro's Central do Brasil bus terminal provides access to the trailhead.
