Overview

Close to Lençóis, Ribeirão do Meio brings together two of Chapada Diamantina's greatest simple pleasures: a peaceful walk in the middle of nature and a natural well with a stone slide, formed by the river's own erosion over the years. A short, light and ideal tour for those looking for uncomplicated contact with the region's nature.

The experience

Departure is at 8am from the center of Lençóis, with a light walk of around 3.5km, mostly on flat terrain, which crosses the transition between the Atlantic Forest and the high altitude fields — with medicinal plants, bromeliads and cacti along the way. Upon arrival at Ribeirão do Meio, the group is provided with life jackets and has free time to enjoy both the natural stone slide and the shallower pools around it, before returning to Lençóis around early afternoon.

Destaques

  • Natural slide made of polished stone in a clear water well
  • Light walk through the transition between Atlantic Forest and high altitude fields
  • Native flora along the route: medicinal plants, bromeliads and cacti
  • Life jacket provided for use in the well
  • Short, half-day tour, ideal for combining with another activity on the same day
  • Small groups, maximum 7 people, for an experience closer to the guide

Activity recommended for people over 18 years old (minors only accompanied by a legal guardian). Book your morning (or afternoon) natural slide at Ribeirão do Meio — a refreshing dip right in the middle of Chapada.
