      Today a private transfer will take you to the bus station for your public bus to Lençois. Depending on the time of your arrival in Lencois and having settled into your accommodation, the rest of the day is free to explore at leisure.  The town of Lencois is a joy to stroll through with its cobblestone streets, colorful colonial buildings, local cafes, and lively restaurants. Although Lencois is beautiful, the main draw and attraction of this region are the nearby Chapada Diamantina National Park where flat-topped mountains rise up suddenly from the flat valleys below. Caves, waterfalls, idyllic rivers, and panoramic plateaus set the stage for some fantastic adventures in the following few days. If you have time today, you can start on your adventure by going on a short walk from the town center to the Serrano Falls where you can choose to have a quick swim before heading back to spend the evening relaxing.

Your professional guide will take you through the enormous limestone Lapa Doce Cave, with its huge rock formations, stalactites, and columns.

      You’ll stop for a picnic lunch before going for a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Pratinha River. Refueled and refreshed you’ll visit the impressive Blue Cave before hiking to the top of the tabletop mountain of Morro do Pai Inacio just in time to watch the sunset. From this vantage point high up above the National Park, you’ll have unrestricted views of one of South America’s most unique landscapes.

Surround by stunning views and landscapes which look like they’ve been taken from a Dr. Seuss book, you’ll arrive at the centerpiece of the Cachoeira da Fumaca or aptly named Smoke Waterfall. The Cachoeira da Fumaca which is the equivalent to a 112-story building is without a doubt one of the most impressive waterfalls outside of Iguazu Falls! As the waterfall is so high up, the small water flow is sprayed by the wind before it can touch the ground, creating a fine mist and revealing colorful rainbows. Following a picnic lunch, you’ll start making your way back to Lencois, stopping along the way for a swim in the secluded waters below the Riachinho Waterfall. The evening is free for you to relax at your hotel or explore the charming town of Lencois further.
