Overview

Discover the heart of Brazil’s natural charm with the 3-day Chapada Diamantina Tour. Starting in the serene town of Lençóis, this Chapada Diamantina tour reveals a tapestry of awe-inspiring views: trails with panoramic vistas leading to the majestic Cachoeira da Fumaça — the highest waterfall in Brazil — with the landscapes of Vale do Capão and Morrão as a backdrop, plus a relaxing dip at Riachinho Waterfall.

The tour continues to amaze with the Mosquito Waterfall, the cola-colored waters of the Mucugezinho River and the tranquil Poço do Diabo, each revealing a different facet of this diverse ecosystem — among the best things to do in Chapada Diamantina.

Diving into underground wonders, the Chapada Diamantina tour reaches the captivating limestone of the Lapa Doce Cave and the crystal-clear Blue Grotto of Fazenda Pratinha, before ending at Morro do Pai Inácio, with its sweeping panorama of Chapada Diamantina National Park. Every moment is an unforgettable adventure.

  • Hike to Cachoeira da Fumaça, the tallest waterfall in Brazil (380 m free fall), with views over Vale do Capão and Morrão.
  • Cool off at the Mosquito and Riachinho waterfalls and the Poço do Diabo natural pools.
  • Explore the limestone formations of the Lapa Doce Cave and the crystal-clear Blue Grotto at Fazenda Pratinha.
