Day

Arrival at Lençóis, accommodation and
if there is time, sunset at Morro do Pai Inácio (Father
Inácio's Hill).
Right next to the BR-242 road, by car to a certain point, then
walking for about 15min to its top, at 1240m
of altitude. From there you have some of the most spectacular
views of Chapada, with series of flat mountains
that are so characteristic of this landscape. The end of the
day light enhances the beauty of the relief even
more. It is very windy up there, but nevertheless there are
plants and flowers. Overnight at Lençóis.

Day
2
After breakfast we´ll leave to:
Poço do Diabo (Devil's Pool).
Dark and it gives a really a weird sensation, with an almost
complete lack of visibility. Nevertheless, the
acids that give this color are not pollutants.
Optional (locally paid) - You have the option of practicing
abseiling and flying fox.
Pratinha
A balneary that is a real oasis in such arid area. The bottom
of the lake has countless micro-conchs, showing
that in the past there was a sea in this region. Pratinha river
formed many grottos in the limestone.
Stop for lunch (included)
Gruta Azul (Blue Grotto)
Short walking distance. By this time the sunrays start to enter
it and reach the water, creating magic colors.
Kids - there were many - remained surprisingly quiet admiring
this wonder. There is a connection between
this grotto and the lake, available only to specialized divers.
Lapa Doce Grotto
It’s the most beautiful grotto at Chapada Diamantina.
Come back in the end of the day. Overnight at Lençóis.

For the ones who choose the Option 2 in the next day, the overnight
will be at Pousada Vale do Capão, that
