• day 1

  Fumaça Waterfall + Riachinho Waterfall

  Departure by car (1h30) after breakfast towards the Capão valley and the Fumaça waterfall. Two hours of hiking on the high plateaus allow you to discover the richness of the local flora, appreciate the tree ferns, orchids, and insectivorous plants, and finally discover the magnificent Fumaça canyon, one of the most majestic landscapes in the world. The 400-meter abyss protects a primitive forest dominated by "palmitos." Picnic on site. Return in the late afternoon to Lençois, passing by the Riachinho waterfall, a very pleasant swim and relaxation after the hike. Return to Lençois in the late afternoon.

• day 2

  Regional car tour with easy walks: Poço Azul, Mosquito waterfall, and Pai Inácio mountain.

  We drive down the eastern slope of the national park to reach a site remarkable for its beauty and originality. Poço Azul is a cave flooded by translucent waters where sunlight penetrates and creates a surreal atmosphere between sky and water. Moreover, you can swim there, which is an unforgettable experience. We then head north to the "fazenda" where the Mosquito waterfall is located. The setting is wild and the developed access allows for beautiful viewpoints over the site. You can relax at the foot of the 60 m waterfall or swim in the river while admiring the surrounding flora. Lunch is taken at one of the two sites. Return to Lençois in the late afternoon after a detour via the icon of the Chapada, Mount Pai Inacio.
