Chapada Diamantina - day 3

Next day we woke up again quite early and started 8:30 our next trip to Cachoeira do Fumaça one of the highest waterfalls in Brasil with height of 380m! Starting point of the hike is the village Vale do Capão. Although it’s only 72km far away from Lençóis we needed more then 2 hours by car one way. First one hour is normal bumpy path and second hour off-road 😅. The funny thing is that the money for building the proper street has been collected but the locals don’t want that. Around 11 we were finally ready to start the hike to the waterfall. The hike is in total 12 km long and takes 4 hours go and back. First part is super steep and then it’s 1 hour jungle walk till the waterfall. In the morning in was cloudy and not so warm so it was perfect. After 2 hours walk and 1 river crossing we arrived at the first viewpoint and it was incredible 😍. Our drive Toco prepare picnic for us and after taking pictures we departed one hour later to the second viewpoint 😍. The way back was also fine only the sun was shining a lot and we both got a bit sunburned (we used 50 SPF sunscreen more then once 😅). On the way back we had short break in second waterfall Riachinho where we could cool down a bit and get ready for never ending drive back to Lençóis 😅 we arrived at 20:00 back very tired and super happy. What a day ❤️Baca lagi
