Rio Preto Falls

Rio Preto Falls, Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros

The Rio Preto Falls of Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros stands at 120 meters tall, but is just one of many waterfalls found within the park. The Rio Preto is a tributary of the Tocantins River, which though it is popularly regarded as a tributary of the Amazon River, is technically a separate system. The Tocantins River is not considered navigational due to the various rapids, waterfalls, and the Tucuruí Dam some 1500 kilometers north of the Rio Preto Falls.
