Ferradura + Lapão Cave

The waterfall becomes even more impressive during the rainy season. This tour is perfect for those who want to escape the crowds of the main attractions in Chapada Diamantina. We go by car until the village of Barro Branco and start a fascinating walk through a historic mining area, passing old constructions called "tocas" and following the riverbed to the waterfall. After visiting the waterfall, we head to Lapão Cave. In addition to its natural beauty, the cave holds significant scientific value, housing rare and fragile speleothems that are still little studied. The cave also has historical importance, with several areas that were used in the past for diamond mining.

Keep in mind that..

pointA good pair of hiking shoes is necessary for trails in the Chapada region. We recommend boots or high-ankle shoes with good sole grip.
pointTrail snacks are not included in the price. Opt for light and natural foods such as fruits, natural sandwiches, nuts, and cereal bars.
