1st day: Cachoeira do Buracão
We will leave Lençóis in the morning and go to the city of Ibicoara, in the south of the park. On the way, we will pass a stretch of dirt road, crossing Campo Redondo, where the trail begins. We continue on a light walk on the banks of the Espalhado River, passing by Cachoeira das Orquídeas, enjoying a natural massage of the waters and departing to the access to the canyon of Cachoeira do Buracão, one of the most beautiful places in the package.
From there, the adventure becomes even more interesting, as we will continue to float with vests down the river, but also with the option of going through the rocks, to Cachoeira do Buracão, which is one of the most impressive in Chapada Diamantina due to the canyons, its volume of impressive water and 85 meters of fall, having even been the subject of a Globo Repórter report. After enjoying the bath and taking beautiful pictures, we took the trail again to see the waterfall overhead, where we will have a snack and rest for the drive back where we will spend the night in the Baixão Community, which is close to the beginning of the trail to Fumacinha Waterfall;
2nd day: Cachoeira da Fumacinha
After overnight in Baixão, we started the trail walking along the banks of the Riachão das Pedras for about 1h30. After this stretch the technical part begins, which is walking on the river bed, jumping from stone to stone. There are 6 km made in this way, and a total of 18 km considering round trip, being one of the most difficult 1-day trails we have in Chapada Diamantina. On average, we walk for 3:30 am, passing several small falls on the way to Cachoeira da Fumacinha, which in its magnitude and beauty makes up for all the effort to reach it, being one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Chapada Diamantina. There we stopped for a bath and a snack and after resting, we went back the same way. On that day we will continue to spend the night in the beautiful historic city of Mucugê.
Note: in the dry season the waterfall may be low, or even without water.
3rd day: Poço Encantado and Poço Azul
The next day we will visit Poço Encantado, one of the most beautiful landscapes of Chapada Diamantina. In this contemplative package, we will enter the grotto and soon we will see an imposing hall with a well almost 70 meters deep with waters so crystal clear that it is possible to see the bottom. At certain times of the day, a beam of sunlight reaches the well water, reinforcing the bluish color and giving an enchanted air to the view, hence the name of the attraction. Bathing is not allowed, but the view is unforgettable and the package is worth it.
- What Will You Do
We will leave Lençóis in the direction of Cachoeira do Buracão, one of the most impressive in the park with its 85 meters of fall, large volume of water and imposing canyons.

On the third day we will visit Poço Azul and Poço Encantado. Both with crystal blue waters inside caves.

In Poço Azul it is possible to have a magical experience of floating in the cave waters.
