Located on the Cumbuca River within the Munincipal Park and a project of Sempre-Viva, the waterfalls are open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Several small falls form a large swimming hole called Ze Leandro, ideal for bathing. The Cumbuca River has special historical importance, as this is where prospectors first found diamonds in the 19th century. The resulting “diamond rush” was responsible for the founding the towns of Lencois, Mucuge, Igatu and others in this southwest region of the chapada. Earlier explorers had followed this route along the Contas River in the 18th century as well.
