Mirante do Cachoeirão — One-Day Trek to Vale do Pati

Overview

For those who want to see one of the most impressive scenes at Vale do Pati without committing to days of crossing, this one-day trail takes you to Mirante do Cachoeirão — a 280-meter-high wall that, during the rainy season, multiplies into up to 16 waterfalls visible at the same time, a rare spectacle even by Chapada Diamantina standards.

The experience

Departure is at 7am from Lençóis, with a journey of around two hours to the village of Guiné, where the three-hour trail begins: a 30-minute climb to Mirante dos Aleixos, followed by an hour and a half across the open plateau of Gerais from Rio Preto and crossing Rio Preto, to Mirante do Cachoeirão. At the top, there is time for a meal and, when conditions permit, a bath in a natural well, before returning along the same route to the vehicle and returning to Lençóis at dusk.
