Overview

For those who only have one day to discover the best of Chapada Diamantina, this circuit brings together the essentials: two caves with rare formations, a swim in the Rio Pratinha and the sunset in the iconic Morro do Camelo. A dynamic itinerary, designed for those who want to see as much of the region as possible without compromising the quality of each stop. Small groups, with a maximum of 7 people, guarantee a closer experience to the guide even on such a full day.

The experience

Departure is at 8am from Lençóis, with an hour's drive to Gruta da Fumaça — one of the most complete caves in the region, with stalactites, stalagmites and the rare "Aragonite Flower" among its formations. Around noon, the group arrives at Fazenda Pratinha, where there is time for a swim in the crystal clear waters of Rio Pratinha (with separate optional activities, such as zip lining, snorkeling, kayaking and underwater photography, and lunch available on site at your own expense). At 3pm, the visit to Gruta Azul reveals its famous natural light show, when the sun invades the cave and colors the water. The itinerary ends with a 40-minute drive to Morro do Camelo, Chapada's iconic viewpoint, to watch the sunset before returning to Lençóis via the scenic BR-242.
