Sossego Waterfall

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions or any major factor that the organizers deem necessary.

SOSSEGO WATERFALL + RIBEIRÃO DE CIMA

We will depart at 8:00 a.m. (with a 30-minute tolerance) from downtown Lençóis and take the traditional trail that leads to Ribeirão do Meio. We'll walk for 30 minutes to the Ribeirão River Overlook, which provides us with an idea of the route we will be following.

We will continue along the trail that goes upstream. With each step, the landscape changes significantly. You can observe old structures that once served as shelter for the miners who lived in the region in search of diamonds.

After an hour of walking, we will reach the bed of the Ribeirão River, where we'll need to hop over many rocks, and sometimes, depending on the weather, we may have to cross through the water, which only adds to the difficulty and challenge. The stretch to the waterfall takes another half an hour.

On the way back, we will stop at the Caldeirões do Ribeirão de Cima for a swim in shallower waters.
Distância: 15km
