Almécegas II has a smaller fall, approximately six meters high, reached by a short walk of around three hundred meters. The surrounding rock slabs make a place to linger by the water, with relatively easy access compared with Almécegas I.
Depth, submerged obstacles and swimming permissions vary. Avoid jumping from the rocks. Use only the areas open for swimming.
Hiring a guide is mandatory for Almécegas II via the Aldeia access, which is separate from the usual Fazenda São Bento entrance.
Confirm the price and what is included when booking.
The historical range helps compare outings; it is not the current rate and does not necessarily include a guide or transportation.
Access shares the internal dirt roads of Fazenda São Bento. Low-clearance cars call for care and depend on the road's condition.
Approximately 300 m.
A guide is mandatory via the Aldeia Multiétnica access. The usual entrance through Fazenda São Bento has its own rules; confirm your chosen access when booking.
