The waterfall, small and exuberant, has approximately five meters of waterfall. At the base, a small natural pool with a depth of 3 meters justifies the name of the place, Poção. The waterfall is surrounded by walls up to ten meters high, from which the bravest jump headfirst. But it's worth the warning, the place has no lifeguard monitoring.
