Tijuípe Waterfall is the must-stop spot to wash your soul and rinse off the salt after a session at the southern beaches. Located just 10 minutes by car from Vila Jubarte, access is fast and direct via the highway.
The main falls are epic: a 4-meter high (13ft) water curtain stretching 15 meters (50ft) wide that crashes into a massive natural pool. It’s the perfect spot to swim with plenty of space and loosen up your muscles after surfing. If you want to explore further, you can follow a short trail upstream to a tranquil lagoon with a smaller, more secluded cascade surrounded by dense rainforest.
For those who still want to stay active, you can rent a kayak and paddle through the calm waters of the Tijuípe River, taking in the Atlantic Forest scenery from the water. All of this comes with the infrastructure of a riverside restaurant and deck, perfect for grabbing a cold one and talking about the swell with the crew.
