Cachoeira is a community-created King of the Hill map added in the Summer 2024 Update. It takes place in a secret doomsday facility in the Iguaçu Falls, where the teams fight for a new shipment of weapons.
Cachoeira was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Locations
- Spawn Room: a large room with two exits and two resupply cabinets. Both rooms are located on opposite sides of a submarine base and have a large glass window that allows players from one team to peak into the other team's room.
- Spawn Building: the small building housing the spawn room exits.
- Spawn Yard: the open area outside the spawn building, with a short sheltered corridor (the watchtower to the right on the RED side and the hotel to the left on the BLU side). Following the tire tracks leads to the control point; going into or past the little building takes players to a Cave.
- Cave: a rocky underground with several entrances and exits.
- Balcony: a balcony with an overview of the Control Point and the Helipad, accessible through the Cave and identifiable by its single window with a team-colored plastic table and chair.
- Control Point: the control point is housed by a small square building, with an opening on each side and on its roof.
- Weapons Shack: the small building right next to the control point's building, with a partially open door revealing it is full of torpedoes, missiles, and crates of "totally not missiles." Its roof can be accessed through jumping techniques such as rocket and sticky jumps; other techniques, like double and flare jumps, may require the catwalk in the back or the crates piled up on each side.
- Point's Underside: players can go under the Control Point and the Weapons Shack. This is a very enclosed space entirely full of water, and the only ways in and out are below the catwalk behind the Weapons Shack and the bridge connecting the Control Point and the Helipad.
- Helipad: a medium ammo crate sits on the back of the helicopter, while a small health kit sits on each side of its cockpit. The river's waters are full of piranhas, and the helicopter blades spin at high speed; making contact with either results in the player being instantly gibbed.
- Water: the waters by the shore are safe to go into and have some rocks that can be used as cover.

Strategy
Main article: Community Cachoeira strategy
 | “Sun Tzu's got nothing on us!” This map's Community strategy page is a stub. As such, it is not complete. You can help the Team Fortress Wiki Community Strategy Project by expanding it. Notes: None added |
One Strategy is going under the Control Point and going an Explosive Class (Demoman or Soldier) and shooting stickies/rockets under the point. The Grate texture allows explosives through it. This can be great to defend the Point or to get enemies off the control point. Make sure to watch out for people to flank you from underneath. The most optimal loadout is Demoman with the Scottish Resistence and any Secondary/Melee.

Trivia
- "Cachoeira" means "waterfall" in Portuguese.
- On the RED side of the map and behind the tree with the piranhas warning sign is a rowboat with a skull wearing a Bloke's Bucket Hat.
- On the RED side of the map is a wooden watchtower with a catwalk where a table with two chairs can be found; on the table are two bottles of beer and a bar of Brazilium, on one of the chairs is a scarlet macaw, and on the other chair is a Pocket Purrer wearing a Dangeresque, Too? in a bucket.
- Near the BLU spawn is a path blocked by a gate where some cars can be seen in the distance. In this area, there is a chair with a green Winter Woodsman, an orange VW Beetle for the flower shop Floricultura do Malandro ("Rascal's Floriculture"), and a tiny blue tank behind a building that cannot be normally seen.
- A large gate in the back of the submarine's base hides a large room containing a grinning face and a signature from one of the map's creators on the back wall.
