Paulo Afonso Falls - Paulo Afonso Falls (English name) Cachoeira de Paulo Afonso
Located on the western edge of Alagoas state, about 300 km upstream from the mouth of the São Francisco River in northeastern Brazil, this three-tiered waterfall has a drop of about 80 m. It is very similar to Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River in Africa. The area around the waterfall is a national park. However, the São Francisco River Hydroelectric Company was founded in 1945 and built a power plant that uses the waterfall, so the waterfall is destined to disappear in the near future. January and February are ideal for sightseeing, as there is a lot of water. [Nishizawa Toshie]

Japanese:
ブラジル北東部を流れるサン・フランシスコ川の河口から約300km上流,アラゴアス州の西端にある,3段からなる落差約80mの滝。アフリカのザンベジ川にあるビクトリア滝によく似ている。滝の周辺は国立公園になっている。しかし,1945年サン・フランシスコ川水力発電会社が創設され,この滝を利用した発電所が建設されたので,近い将来,滝は姿を消す運命にある。1~2月は水量が多く,観光に最適である。【西沢 利栄】
