Cachoeira do Bom Jardim

A waterfall in the Serra do Ginete, in Barra da Estiva, Bahia: dirt-road access, a short 150 m trail and a quick swim in the woods.

Cachoeira do Bom Jardim sits in the Serra do Ginete and is the kind of place you can sort out quickly: arrive, walk down, get in the water. Access is by dirt road, followed by a short 150 m trail that takes around 10 minutes on foot. The effort is light.

The drive covers 50 km, and the combination of dirt road, brief walk and a pool to swim in makes this a stop that fits into the middle of a day, with no need for long-trail gear.

The waterfall is in Barra da Estiva, a municipality in the Seabra microregion and the Vitória da Conquista immediate region. In the same municipality, the Vivai catalogue also lists Morro do Ouro, Morro Santa Bárbara (also called "da Torre"), Nascente do Paraguaçu, the source of the Paraguaçu river, plus visits to quilombola communities and a rock art site, enough to build a trip of more than one day.

There is currently no active experience in the Vivai catalogue for this waterfall.
