cachoeiras de macacu is appropriately named in honor of the many beautiful waterfalls of the region, and earned the town the title of 'health-resort town' - this unique place is located in the regiăo serrana, less than 90 kilometers from the capital.
a town with the word 'waterfalls' in its name evokes images and sensations of peace and tranquility - however, the intricate history of cachoeiras starts at the period when the french were expelled from the city of rio de janeiro, event that led to the formations of land concessions in the region by the colonial authorities.
ownership and control of the land would change shape and hands many times, including after the initial long battles against the local indigenous tribes.
