The Segredo fall, estimated at 115 meters, appears between the rock walls and the forest after a walk marked by the presence of water. The name is associated with the story of Seu Vitorino and the care taken to keep the location of pink crystals a secret.

The access reference is about twelve kilometers from São Jorge toward Colinas do Sul, plus approximately six kilometers on a dirt road. The route includes bridges and a suspended walkway, structures that reduced some of the old crossings. Confirm the current parking area, since changes to the entrance gate alter the length of the walk.

Prainha, located about 1.5 km from the main fall, allows an intermediate stop. The forest, the humidity and the rock wall are part of the experience, as well as swimming. Keep the setting quiet, carry all waste back out and do not remove flowers, stones or other natural elements.
