The Soberbo River originates in the Serra dos Órgãos and has several waterfalls throughout its course, flowing into the Macacu River.

On rainy days on the top of the mountain range, the river will often fill up rapidly and cause the phenomenon known as "waterhead". Several people have died due to this phenomenon.[1][2]
