Cachoeirão Viewpoint 1 Day

About Cachoeirão Viewpoint (Vale do Pati)

A considerable hike for those who want to visit the Vale do Pati in one day, covering 9 km and an additional 160 km by car, departing and returning to Lençóis. The hike lasts about 3 hours until we reach our main attraction and is mostly flat.

It’s the type of hike where we’ll appreciate species of flora, fauna, and imposing mountain ranges in the background, like an immense garden under the open sky.

We believe an ideal visit should be at least 3 days in the Vale do Pati. However, for those with limited days available in Chapada Diamantina, this is a great option. In one day, we can also visit the Mirante da Rampa, the most famous viewpoint in the Vale do Pati.

Check with our service team for all the route options we offer in the Vale do Pati.

Itinerário

The itinerary may change due to weather conditions or any force majeure factors that the organizers deem important.

CACHOEIRÃO DO VALE DO PATI + GERAIS DO RIO PRETO + RIO PRETO

We will depart from Lençóis at 7:00 AM towards the southern region of the Chapada Diamantina National Park (PNCD). The journey consists of an 80 km (2-hour) drive to the village of Guiné, where we will start and end the hike. After disembarking and receiving a general briefing about the route, we will check the tour checklist and begin our trek.
Our first stretch is a 30-minute ascent on rugged terrain leading to the Aleixos Overlook. After a short break, we will continue into the Pati Valley via the Gerais do Rio Preto, an open area that covers more than 70% of the PNCD. This region resembles an immense open-air garden, where we can observe various high-altitude plant species.
We will remain in the Gerais for about 1.5 hours, walking on flat terrain. Midway, we will cross the Rio Preto (alternative routes may be taken depending on the weather). At the end of the trail, we will reach the Cachoeirão Overlook, standing 280 meters high. If the hike takes place after heavy rainfall, we will witness more than 20 waterfalls cascading into the valley.
Near the overlook, there is a natural pool where we can take a refreshing dip and enjoy our meal before preparing for the return journey. We will take the same route back, with the option to stop at Rio Preto for a swim. We expect to reach the vehicle around 4:00 PM, followed by a brief stop in the village of Guiné, where a good meal is available. Afterward, we will head back to Lençóis (80 km), arriving in town around 7:00 PM.

Responsability Term

Segurança em Cachoeirão Viewpoint

Your safety, comfort, and enjoyment are our priorities. That’s why we work with guides trained in Pre-Hospital Care (APH) and Minimum Conduct Competencies (CMC) courses following ABNT standards, with some also certified in WAFA (check availability). All guides are equipped with first aid kits for remote areas and bring extensive mountain experience.
However, we emphasize that this is not a 100% safe activity, and despite all the precautions, safety measures, and responsibilities we adopt, unforeseen events and accidents may occur. As with most adventure activities in natural environments, there is an element of risk (poisonous animals, falls resulting in fractures or abrasions, storms, floods, general accidents, etc.). Mechanical breakdowns in the transport vehicle may also cause delays or changes in the trip. The chosen itinerary takes place in wild locations where rescue procedures can be delayed (taking over 5 hours to initiate rescue, not included in our reservation services). During the activity, participants must strictly follow the instructions of the agency and guides. For this reason, we stress the critical importance of participants carrying all mandatory equipment listed in the checklist. Failure to bring mandatory equipment will prevent participation in the activity. In this specific trek, there is no rescue or evacuation infrastructure. Rescue is conducted by guides, local emergency teams, and firefighters who travel to the area after receiving the call; the costs of rescue are the responsibility of the participants who made the reservation.
