Clueless tourists stop for a spot of "fishing" in raging waterfall at Brazilian beauty spot

Three people have been spotted attempting to fish in a raging waterfall at Cachoeira Urubu Ecological Park, a popular hiking destination in Brazil. In a video shared this week via Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks, the three men can be seen on a rock at the top of the Urubu waterfall, with one casting a line into the churning water while another two sit and watch as the water washes over their legs. It's not clear how the three got onto the rock, or how they intend to get back up again.

The park is located in the state of Piauí, between Esperantina and Batalha. Its aim is let guests enjoy the beautiful scenery, while also protecting it for future generations. It's possible for visitors to bathe in some pools at the bottom of the falls, and a 400-meter walkway that spans both banks of the Longá River gives visitors a dramatic view across the brink.
