Cachoeira Iracema

Cachoeira Iracema is an 8-meter waterfall set within a lush Amazon rainforest landscape near the town of Presidente Figueiredo, about 8 kilometers from the town center and roughly 107 kilometers north of Manaus.

The waterfall sits on Igarapé Urubuí, a tributary of the Rio Urubuí, and is part of a broader tourist complex that also includes Cachoeira das Araras and a network of caves. The water takes on a reddish hue from the rocky riverbed beneath.

The best time for swimming is from September to January, during the dry season, when receding water levels form natural pools and visitors can bathe directly beneath the falls.

During the high-water period — generally March through July — the waterfall reaches its greatest volume and visual drama, though strong currents make swimming more hazardous.

Trails through the surrounding forest offer views of local fauna, flora, and rock formations including a grotto known as Palace Galo da Serra.
