Cascata S´ Manella

Cascata S'Manella is one of the standout natural attractions of the Grande Oeste region of Santa Catarina, located in the municipality of Xanxerê near the border with Ipuaçu.

The waterfall sits on the Rio Chapecozinho and features three distinct drops, making it a visually impressive destination in the western part of the state.

The site carries an interesting piece of local history: its name honors engineer Salomão Manela, who began construction of a small hydroelectric plant here in the 1960s. That project was halted in 1970, leaving the falls in their natural state.

Access from central Xanxerê is roughly 20 km, with the final stretch covering about 8 km of unpaved road that can vary in condition. Chapecó lies approximately 50 km away.
