The itinerary may be subject to change due to weather conditions or any force majeure factor deemed important by those in charge.

*This trekking tour is highly flexible and can be done in various ways, with multiple entry and exit points. Consult all options with our team.

Day 1 - Serra do Veneno + Toca da Onça + Palmital Waterfall

We’ll depart from the center of Lençóis at 7:00 a.m. with all our hiking gear and head toward the Ribeirão do Meio Trail. This is a 40-minute hike over mostly flat terrain until reaching the Ribeirão River, where we’ll cross and begin the climb up Serra do Veneno, an old mining area. This section takes about 2 hours with a significant incline. Our first stop will be at Toca da Onça, a lookout point with views of Capivari Waterfall and the meeting of the Capivara and Capivari rivers. It’s a stunning panoramic view of the mountains. We’ll continue for 1 hour until we reach our base camp at Palmital Waterfall, where we’ll spend the rest of the day enjoying the waterfall. Dinner will be served around 7:00 p.m.

Depending on the weather, we may sleep outside the tents, enjoying the sounds of the river and the mysteries of the starry night sky.

Distance: 9 km
Effort: Moderate/High

Day 2 - Capivara Waterfall + Ribeirão do Meio

After breakfast prepared by the guide, we’ll take only our day packs and follow the main river upstream for 30 minutes to Capivara Waterfall, where we’ll spend the rest of the morning. After a picnic lunch, we’ll gather all our gear and head back the same way, once again passing by Toca da Onça and Serra do Veneno. On the way down, we’ll make a stop at Ribeirão do Meio, a well-known spot in Lençóis famous for its natural rock waterslide. We’ll then walk for another 40 minutes to reach the center of Lençóis by around 5:00 p.m.

Walking distance: 13 km
Effort: Low/Moderate

Price: R$1.600 per person (minimum of 2 people).

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.
