Overview

For those who want to experience the Vale do Pati without rushing and in its entirety, this five-day crossing runs through the valley from one end to the other — from the highest viewpoints to the most hidden waterfalls — ending with a descent along an old historic coffee flow route to the city of Andaraí, at an end of the trail different from all other versions of the Pati. Unlike the world-famous big crossings, groups here are small and trail days rarely come across other visitors — five days of real immersion, not a queue of hikers.

The experience

The crossing starts at 7:30 am at Lençóis, traveling to Guiné. On the first day, a three-hour trail leads to Mirante da Rampa, followed by Igrejinha, where the first night is spent at Sr. João's house. On the second day, the group continues to Mirante do Cachoeirão, with its 280 meter drop that multiplies into up to 16 waterfalls during the rainy season, before switching to a house in the lower part of the valley. The third day is the most challenging of the crossing: the climb to Morro do Castelo exceeds 1,200 meters in altitude, passing through Gruta da Lapinha and Cachoeira das Bananeiras. The fourth day is lighter, with a descent to Poço da Árvore for an invigorating swim. On the fifth and final day, an early morning precedes the climb up the historic Ladeira do Império — an old coffee transport route — and the final descent to Andaraí, where the crossing ends.

Activity recommended for people over 18 years of age, with excellent physical fitness to walk several days in a row, including under adverse weather conditions (minors only accompanied by a legal guardian). Important: this crossing is one-way, ending in Andaraí — different from Lençóis, city of departure — and return transportation is not included; We recommend arranging this section in advance. Book your full Vale do Pati crossing and experience five days of the most immersive experience Chapada Diamantina can offer.
