About Cachoeira de São Miguel
Cachoeira de São Miguel is located in Balneário São Miguel, in Biguaçu, near BR-101. The water flows over stone slabs and forms a stretch of river surrounded by vegetation, allowing observation of the relationship between the rocky riverbed and the flow. The appearance of the fall changes with the rains: when the volume increases, the water covers more stones and accentuates the rapids. The recommended access starts from Rua Maria Albertina Coan, and the viewing can be done without turning the visit into a long hike. Nearby there are archaeological remains of a lithic workshop, related to the ancient occupation of the riverbanks. These remains should be preserved, without collecting or moving materials. Prepare your visit in advance, confirm access conditions and follow local guidance about the places available to stay near the water. The interest of the visit is the landscape of the fall, the riverbed and the vegetation that accompanies it.
