The Land of Waterfalls in the Amazon

Just two hours north of Manaus, hidden in the lush embrace of the Amazon rainforest, lies Presidente Figueiredo—a nature lover’s paradise known as the “Land of Waterfalls.” With its crystal-clear rivers, caves, and jungle trails, this small town offers a perfect escape into the wild beauty of the northern Amazon.

Why Visit?

Presidente Figueiredo is famous for its stunning waterfalls—there are more than 100 scattered throughout the surrounding forest. From the gentle cascades of Cachoeira do Santuário to the dramatic drop of Cachoeira da Pedra Furada, each waterfall offers a refreshing plunge and a magical setting surrounded by tropical flora.

Adventure awaits at every turn: explore caves carved by underground rivers, hike through dense forest trails, swim in natural pools, or simply listen to the soothing sounds of the jungle. The region is also rich in biodiversity, with a chance to spot exotic birds, butterflies, and small mammals.

Unlike more remote parts of the Amazon, Presidente Figueiredo is easily accessible by road from Manaus, making it an ideal destination for day trips or weekend getaways. Despite its proximity to the city, it feels a world away—peaceful, green, and alive with nature.

The Vibe

Presidente Figueiredo is adventurous, refreshing, and full of natural wonder. It’s a place to reconnect with the forest, to swim beneath waterfalls, and to explore the Amazon at its most vibrant and accessible. Whether you're seeking a moment of calm or an active escape, this hidden gem welcomes you with the purest gifts of nature.
