Day 1
Start your Chapada Diamantina trip with a walking tour through Lençóis, a town that keeps the golden mining years alive. Discover its charming 19th-century architecture, the church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário and the former Sá family residence, and learn about local culture at the Afrânio Peixoto Museum. As night falls, the streets come alive — a great moment to sample traditional dishes in one of the town's restaurants.
Day 2
Leave Lençóis towards Vale do Capão (about an hour on the BR-242) to one of the park entrances. The hike climbs for almost an hour before a flat trail leads to Cachoeira da Fumaça, Brazil's highest waterfall with a 380-metre free fall, with spectacular views over the Capão Valley and Morrão. Enjoy a snack at the top, then return the same way with a refreshing dip at Riachinho Waterfall before heading back to Lençóis.
Day 3
Head to the southern part of Chapada Diamantina National Park to visit Poço Encantado, marvelling at the clarity of its waters, then Poço Azul, where a peaceful float reveals the underwater wonders of the region. End the day with a scenic drive to the quaint town of Mucugê, full of secrets and stories from the mining era, where you spend the night.
Day 4
An early start to Ibicoara, where the trail to Buracão Waterfall awaits. The serene hike along the Rio Espalhado leads into a spectacular canyon, where you can swim or float to the base of the stunning waterfall. After time to relax and have lunch, return to Lençóis or Mucugê, taking in the untouched landscapes along the way.
Day 5
Hike through Águas Claras, a true natural paradise where nature appears in its purest form. Admire the iconic views of Morro do Pai Inácio and Morrão before reaching a natural pool for a revitalising dip. After a snack and some downtime, return to Lençóis, where the evening is free to explore the town's illuminated streets and live music — or simply rest.
Day 6
Day 6
Leave Lençóis for Gruta Lapa Doce, famous for its limestone formations; the 850-metre traverse inside the cave reveals underground beauty at every step. Continue to Fazenda Pratinha, home to crystal-clear waters and the Blue Cave, with optional cave snorkelling, zip-lining and kayaking. In the late afternoon, head to Morro do Pai Inácio for a breathtaking — and, weather permitting, unforgettable — sunset, before returning to Lençóis.
Day 7
On the last day of your 7-day trip through Chapada Diamantina, set off towards Mosquito Waterfall — named after the tiny diamonds once found here — for a quick, easy walk and a refreshing dip. After a regional lunch at the Serra da Cravada restaurant, drive to the Mucugezinho River and its cola-coloured waters; a 20-minute walk leads to Poço do Diabo for one last waterfall swim before returning to Lençóis.
This Chapada Diamantina tour is based in Lençóis, with one included overnight in Mucugê on day 3. You're free to choose where to stay in Lençóis to match your budget and style, as daily pick-ups are arranged from your accommodation in town. Note that, apart from the Mucugê night, accommodation in Lençóis is not included in the package.
Lençóis is lively and well-structured — ideal for first-time visitors who want comfort and easy access. Mucugê is quieter and traditional; Vale do Capão has a relaxed, bohemian feel loved by hikers; Igatu, the "stone village", is picturesque; and Ibicoara suits adventurers heading to Buracão.
Lunch and a trail snack are included each activity day, with a regional lunch on day 7 at the Serra da Cravada restaurant. Dinners are not included, leaving your evenings free to explore the restaurants and bars of Lençóis and sample traditional Bahian dishes. Dietary restrictions and allergies can usually be accommodated when shared with PlanetaEXO in advance.
