Capivari Chapada Diamantina

Road Map > Trekking

This was the first trekking developed by Extreme EcoAventure, linking old miner´s ways which were abandoned, passing through 7 waterfalls in 4 days. It was developed by the agency´s staff and they are the only ones who knows all the way because some links between trails were made by them.
Summary:
1st day: Capivari´s Waterfall and Poção do Capivari.
2nd day: Mixila´s Waterfall and Lages Waterfall.
3rd day: Caldeirão´s Waterfall and Entocada Waterfall.
4th day: Samuel´s Waterfall.

Detailed:

1st day: We leave Lençóis by a 4×4 car in a 8km off road. We go up on the Serra do Bode (Goat´s Hill) till the Córrego Piçarras and cross a small hill that separates this streamlet and the Rio Capivari. We drop our backpackers and walk to see the top of Capivari´s Waterfall. Than we go down to see it´s bottom. We swim, have lunch and go up again till our backpackers. Get them and walk more 40 minutes- 1 hour to the Cachoeira do Poção do Capivari (Capivari´s Big Pool Waterfall), where we camp.
2nd day: We leave the backpackers and go up the Capivari´s River with cameras and supply for about 2 hours to reach the Cachoeira da Mixila (Tiny-South-American-Anteater Waterfall), which was found by Marcos Cauduro (agency´s director) in 2004 and now is one of the most demanded of Chapada. We come back on the same way till the camping get the things on the camping and go to Cachoeira das Lajes (Flagstones Waterfall) where we sleep.
3rd Day: We stay a while on the waterfall and then leave to Cachoeira do Caldeirão (Large Kettle Waterfall). Stop to swim and enjoy the waterfall. After that we leave to Rio Ancorado (Ancorado´s River) where we camp.
4th day: We leave the camping to the Rio Roncador (Boaster River), where we´ll see the Samuel Waterfall. Than we must choose:
-go down to the waterfall´s pool and then walk down jumping the river´s rocks (more difficult) and from the mouth of the river get the Marimbus boat trip (regular route)to reach the Remanso village where the car wait for us
-or we go to the Rio Garapa and go down on a trail till the bottom of the hills where the car will get us.
