Cachoeira do Crepúsculo is a series of forest cascades and natural pools in Sertão do Taquari, about 24 kilometres from central Paraty. Formerly known as Cachoeira da Usina or Cachoeira do Taquari, it became popularly known as the Twilight Waterfall after scenes for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011) were filmed here. A short trail through the Atlantic Forest leads to the pools and the narrow rock channel seen in the film.
