One of the most unique and interesting national parks I've been to. Rock formations you don't see in other places and huge waterfalls. Absolutely worth visiting, but take note that when hiking, some trails are more well marked than others.

One of the most amazing and beautiful places you can see in Brazil. Wonderful national park! It can be a little bit hard getting by inside the park but it is definitely worth the effort! You can take day or multiple days tours from lencois to all of these great places in the park or maybe hire a car from Salvador and make your own trips. Definitely a must see place if you are in Brazil and love raw and untouched nature.

Absolutely stunning and full of adventure. The town itself is super cute but very touristy. I would recommend getting a guide before arriving to make sure it's a quality experience with a trained professional, not just a local. It's very easy to get lost and the trails are intense. For anyone with 3-4 nights best thing to do is a multi day trek with camping gear. Best views.

Awesome nature reserve. Geology of the place is fascinating. Mostly conglomerate and sandstone. The Flora is unique due to poor rainfall and nutrient poor soil.

Amazing and beautiful place! I left there already planning when I will be back! Love the people, the food, the nature! Viva a Bahia e suas riquezas!

What a stunning place! A little corner of hiking paradise still under the international tourist radar. A must visit if you are in this part of Brazil.

An amazing experience, a must-go place for one who wants adventure, waterfalls, and lots of scenic views! (=

Wonderful!!!

(Translated by Google) Easy trail, passes by the Rodas waterfall, but there is a way to go straight to the well. I recommend downloading the trail from Wikiloc, but the trail is well marked, it gets harder in the zig-zag section, the climb is a little tiring but nothing that anyone can't do calmly. Entrance is free and there is free parking at the beginning of the trail. The well is quite large, even on a busy day it should be quite calm to swim. Very nice waterfall! (Original) Trilha tranquila, passa pela cachoeira das rodas, mas há como ir direto pro poço, recomendo baixar a trilha pelo wikiloc, mas a trilha é bem marcada, fica mais puxada no trecho em zig-zag, a subida é um pouco cansativa mas nada que qualquer um não consiga fazer com calma. A entrada é grátis e há estacionamento grátis no início da trilha. O poço é bem grande, mesmo num dia cheio de pessoas deve ser bem tranquilo pra nadar. Cachoeira muito gostosa!

(Translated by Google) What a spectacular place! The route on Google Maps sent us to another location, but we asked around and managed to get there. It's free. The trail on foot is wonderful. I think it takes about 40 minutes to walk. The trail is of medium difficulty. There are a lot of descents and, consequently, a lot of climbs on the way back. The view is beautiful! There's a small waterfall. Good for swimming. Very pleasant. (Original) Que lugar espetacular! O caminho que está no Google maps nos mandou para outro local, mas perguntamos é conseguimos chegar lá. Não é pago. A trilha à pé é uma delícia. Acredito que uns 40 minutos caminhando. Trilha media em dificuldade. Tem muita descida e, consequentemente, muita subida na volta. A vista é linda! Tem uma pequena queda d'água. Bom para nadar. Muito agradável.

(Translated by Google) The trail to get to the site is long, unmarked, with several alternative sections, steep in some spots, uneven and tiring. It takes about 40 minutes to get to the site. Only 4x4 vehicles can reach the parking lot at the beginning of the trail because there is a dusty slope about 2km before. When you get to the site, the beauty makes up for it, but you can have the same experience of waterfalls, wells and rivers at Cachoeira do Riachinho without getting tired like that. I would say that it is more of a place for those who like trails than rivers and waterfalls. (Original) A trilha para chegar ao local é extensa, sem sinalização, com vários trechos alternativos, íngreme em alguns pontos, irregular e cansativa. Cerca de 40min para chegar ao local. Apenas carros 4x4 conseguem chegar até o estacionamento no começo da trilha porque há uma ladeira empoeirada cerca de 2km antes. Ao chegar no local, a beleza compensa, mas dá pra ter a mesma experiência de cachoeira, poço, rio na Cachoeira do Riachinho sem se cansar dessa forma. Eu diria que é mais um local para quem gosta de trilha do que de rio e cachoeira.

(Translated by Google) Easy trail to do, about 6km in total. Only at the end it gets a bit annoying because of the zigzags, but nothing major. I would do it again! (Original) Trilha fácil de fazer, uns 6km no total. Apenas no final fica meio chatinha por ter muito zigzag, mas nada de mais. Iria novamente!

(Translated by Google) I liked that the pool was large. The view is also very nice. The trail is gentle and uneven, so many people are wearing sandals and others are wearing sneakers. (Original) Me gustó que el pozo era grande. La vista es muy linda también. El sendero es tranquilo sin muchos desniveles por ende hay mucha gente que va de sandalias y otras de zapatillas deportivas.

(Translated by Google) I classify the Preto River Well Trail as moderate. There are some rocky sections that require caution, but it's still easy to hike. I recommend a guide, though, as there are several sections along the same trail and no signage. The well is a safe place for swimming; you just need to be able to handle the low water temperature, which is fine. There's also a waterfall that's excellent for photos. On the way back along the same trail, you can also enjoy the Rodas Waterfall, which is also excellent for photos and has some natural pools in the rocks. (Original) A trilha do poço do rio Preto classifico como moderada, em seu trecho tem algumas partes com pedras que requerem cuidados, mas é tranquila de ir, porém índico a ajuda de um guia pois na mesma trilha existem diversos trechos e não há sinalização. O local do poço é tranquilo para o banho, basta você aguentar a temperatura baixa da água, mas da para aguentar de boa, existe ainda uma queda dágua excelente para fotos. No retorno na mesma trilha também pode ser aproveitado a queda dágua das Rodas, também excelentes para fotos e tem algumas piscinas naturais nas pedras.

Joana is great!! Highly recomended 😀 Loved it! Again anytime I am there!!

(Translated by Google) I did the 5-day trek through the Pati Valley, entering through Guiné and arriving through the Capão Valley. We were guided by Joana, and we were with a really cool group. Joana is super affectionate, careful, competent, experienced, and was super respectful and attentive to my limits and pace. I trust her and highly recommend her! Everything went really well, on the trails, during the stays, on the routes, etc. Being guided by a woman, a mother, and super passionate about Chapada and Pati was a super wonderful experience! (Original) Fiz o trekking de 5 dias atravessando o Vale do Pati, entrando por Guiné e chegando pelo Vale do Capão. Fomos guiados pela Joana, estávamos com um grupo super legal. Joana é super afetuosa, cuidadosa, competente, experiente, foi super respeitosa e atenta aos meus limites e ritmos. Confio e indico fortemente ! Deu tudo super certo, nas trilhas,nas estadias,percursos e etc. Ser guiada por uma mulher, mãe e super apaixonada pela Chapada e pelo Pati foi uma experiencia super maravilhosa!

(Translated by Google) Joana is a very attentive guide and an incredible companion on the trails I took during my stay in Vale do Capão. Her attention to detail in showing the local flora and her commentary on the history enriched the tours. She also gave me tips on what to do in the village, which allowed me to experience some of the best cuisine I have ever had in my life! I left wanting to come back and, of course, hire her services to discover new places in this paradise! (Original) Joana é uma guia muito atenciosa e uma companhia incrível nas trilhas que fiz durante minha estadia no Vale do Capão. Seu olhar em mostrar a flora local e seus comentários sobre a história enriqueceram os passeios. Além disso, me ofereceu dicas do que fazer na Vila que me possibilitou vivenciar uma das melhores culinárias que já experimentei na vida! Fui embora com vontade de voltar e, de com certeza, contratar seus serviços para conhecer novos lugares deste paraíso!

(Translated by Google) Exploring Chapada Diamantina with Joana as our guide was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment we began our tour until the very end, it was clear we were in the hands of an experienced and dedicated professional. Furthermore, her passion for Chapada Diamantina is contagious. Her enthusiasm in sharing her knowledge with us made every moment of the tour filled with awe and wonder. It's clear that Joana not only loves what she does but also strives to ensure every visitor has a truly unforgettable experience. I loved it and will be back often.

É evidente que Joana não apenas ama o que faz, mas também se esforça para garantir que cada visitante tenha uma experiência verdadeiramente inesquecível. Amei e volto sempre S2

This is one of my favorite places in Brasil. You can walk by yourself if you use a good gps map ( e.g. MapsMe) or just follow the river but I recommend a guide for the first visit. A guide is about 50 RS per person and full day if you travel with 4 people. Usually you see see some guided groups and a lot of hippies / solo travelers.

Lovely waterfall surrounded by incredible nature.

Beautiful.

Just magical, nothing else to say :D

Show!

(Translated by Google) The road to get to the start of the trail was really bad, with lots of stuck spots. I don't recommend going by car if it's been raining, we had a lot of trouble, but if it hasn't been raining I think it's easier to go. The trail crosses the river a few times, so wear sneakers to get wet. There are some parts of the trail that are more closed, I recommend downloading the trail from Wikiloc or hiring a guide. On the other hand, the trail is really nice to do, very flat, with a beautiful waterfall. I loved the place, I highly recommend it! Entrance is free and we paid 20 reais for parking. (Original) A estrada para chegar no início da trilha estava muuuuito ruim, muitos pontos de atolamento, não recomendo ir com carro de passeio se tiver chovido, passamos um baita perrengue, mas se não tiver chovido creio que de pra ir mais tranquilo. A trilha atravessa o rio algumas vezes, vá com tênis para molhar. Há uns trechos na trilha que são mais fechados, recomendo baixar a trilha pelo wikiloc ou contratar um guia. Em compensação, trilha mto gostosa de fazer, bem plana, cachoeira lindíssima, amei o lugar, recomendo demais! A entrada é gratuita e pagamos 20 reais no estacionamento.

(Translated by Google) The trail leading to this waterfall is considered moderate. There are no signposts, so a little knowledge is required to stay on track. After all, we're in Chapada Diamantina, an ocean of vegetation. And all paths will lead somewhere. Of course, following the riverbed will get you there. The place is quite well preserved, considering the region has been used for tourism for decades. You're surrounded by nature. And this is the crux of a trip to places like Capão. (Original) A trilha que leva a esta cachoeira, é considerada nível moderado. Não existem setas indicativas, é é preciso um pouco de conhecimento para não saírem dela. Até porquê, estamos na Chapada Diamantina. Um oceano de vegetação. E todos os caminhos irão te levar a algum lugar. Claro que,seguindo o leito do rio se chegará. O local é bastante preservado. Levando em consideração a exploração turística nesta região há décadas. Você se encontra em meio a natureza. E isto é o ponto crucial em se fazer uma viagem a locais como o Capão.

Really love the hike to the Cachoeira da Famaça! The first hour of the hike is pretty tough, but you are surrounded by amazing views. The waterfall is pretty epic to, you can see it from the top (if you are not afraid of heights and going to the edge of a cliff) and from the side. On the way back you have the amazing views from the start, but now with the sunset colors.

Nice, easy hike for experienced hikers. Stunning views and scenery! Bring enough water and good hiking shoes. The path is in a very good condition - no guide needed. Unfortunately, there are many “instagram hikers” with a lack of respect for nature. It’s all about getting the best picture to reproduce on social media. I found it sad to see it supported by the guides. Just a question of time until accidents occur.

This waterfall is the tallest and most breath taking. A hefty climb up for 45 - 60 minutes and another hour walk on the plateau. The views are incredible and most people can find it very difficult on the way back! Not recommended for everyone but its definitely worth the effort!

Best trek in Vale do Capão, do it on your own with MapsMe, as there are some little bifurcations. Lots of people coming and going, no need for a guide. Absolutely stunning view

Stunning place! Very beautiful even with no water, as when we went. The hike itself is very easy and the path obvious to find. Don't listen to the rude scare tactics of the guide at the beginning of the trail who wants to convince you that you absolutely need to pay them to take you for a stroll in the park.

Beautiful place and an amazing view! You don't have to pay to get in and you have the right to choose a guide person or not! That are 2 hours walking, so take at least 1.5 liters of water with you, something to eat, sunscreen, glasses, your swimsuit, and enjoy!

A must do! You can guide yourself on this hike. It will take you approximately 5 hours. You will check in at the ranger station and also need to check out. Suggest going earlier jn the day to beat the heat, or you must depart by 1pm in order to give yourself enough time to get back before the trail closes for the evening. A steep hike up for an hour, then flat for an hour.

Cool waterfall close to town you can do some swimming here and wal underneath the waterfall.

Linda!

(Translated by Google) To go down to the waterfall you have to pay 15 reais. The trail is easy and short, good for children. There is no way to swim, there are lots of rocks and spiders. There are bathrooms and a restaurant. I do not recommend the ice cream, it is very sweet, everyone who tried it did not like it. Given the waterfall, it is not worth it. It is very far away and there is construction on the road that goes there, and the bathing area itself is small. I think there are other waterfalls that could be better, such as Mucugezinho, Parque do Muritiba, Poço do Diablo, Ribeirão do Meio. Anyway, it is beautiful, and it is water, right? But as a whole, I don't think this waterfall is worth it. (Original) Para descer na cachoeira tem que pagar 15 reais, a trilha é fácil e curta, boa de ir com crianças. Não tem como nadar, tem muita pedra, e aranha. Tem banheiro e restaurante. Não recomendo o geladão, é muito doce, todos que pegaram não gostaram. Pelo jeito que é cachoeira não vale a pena. É muito longe e tem obras na estrada que vai para lá, e o local de banho mesmo é pequeno. Acho que tem outras cachoeiras que podem ser melhor, como a do mucugezinho, parque do muritiba, poço do diabo, ribeirão do meio. Enfim é bonito, e é água neh, mas no conjunto da obra, eu acho que essa cachoeira não vale a pena.

Do you like a decent breakfast? Do you know what cuscuz is? Best breakfast in Capão

(Translated by Google) Rustic atmosphere. Tasty food. Regular service. I missed a greater concern with the presentation of the items. Highlights include the complete and carrot cake with chocolate sauce. (Original) Ambiente rústico. Comida saborosa. Atendimento regular. Senti falta de uma preocupação maior com a apresentação dos itens. Destaque para o completudo e o bolo de cenoura com calda de chocolate.

(Translated by Google) A must-stop in Capão! Delicious, well-made coffee with a variety of options. Sandwiches with delicious artisanal whole-wheat bread, wonderful dulce de leche crepes, and very good tapioca. The best breakfast in the Valley, with all-natural, fresh, artisanal ingredients, and a fair price! (Original) Parada obrigatória no Capão! Café gostoso, bem feito, com opções diversas. Sanduíches com pão integral artesanal delicioso, crepe de doce de leite maravilhoso e tapioca muito boa também. O melhor café da manhã do Vale com tudo natural, fresquinho, artesanal e preço justo!

(Translated by Google) The best homemade pasta in Capão! The restaurant is super quiet at night and has tables outside with a beautiful garden to enjoy. The homemade pasta is light, fresh and of unparalleled quality! Many people know Galpao for its breakfast, which is also wonderful, but the secret is at night when the chef from Bahia transforms into an Italian nonna! We were delighted with the fresh pasta, the delicious seasonings and for those who shouldn't eat gluten, they found an irresistible paradise! (Original) Melhor massa caseira do Capão! O restaurante a noite é super tranquilo e tem mesas do lado de fora com um jardim lindo para apreciar. As massas caseiras são leves, frescas e de uma qualidade impar! Muitos conhecem o Galpao pelo café da manhã que é maravilhoso tambem mas o segredinho é a noite quando a chefe Baiana se tranforma em Nonna italiana! Ficamos encantados com a massa fresca, os temperos deliciosos e para quem nao deveria comer Glúten, encontrou um irresistível paraíso!

(Translated by Google) Delicious breakfast in a very cozy environment, I recommend it to everyone! (Original) Café da manhã delicioso em um ambiente muito aconchegante, recomendo a todos!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful breakfast. Everything I ordered was delicious. I recommend the carrot cake; it was incredible. (Original) Café da manhã maravilhoso. Tudo que pedi estava muito bom. Recomendo pedir o bolo de cenoura, estava incrível.

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is beautiful and calm, the food is delicious and the playlist of the day enchanted me! (Original) O ambiente é lindo e calmo, a comida deliciosa e a playlist do dia me encantou!

Parked at the front, which caused the owner to come out furious telling me not to park in front of his restaurant. I told him I was eating there, but just looking in some shops for five minutes. He demanded I eat there now! We decided to go elsewhere and not support such an obviously a belligerant member, besides the dishes look kind of bland.

- they have no idea of vegetarian food, serve a tasteless boring spaghetti with badly prepared vegetables (you have to know how to manage aubergine) with too much oil - served the side dish salad without marinade, put only a oil bottle aside, the vinaigrette you had to ask extra - carelessly furnished, nothing special - very arrogant owner, not willing to fulfill small wishes, not even friendly by rejecting them, only pushing his point of view, acts like a star cook but doesn't have any idea of gastronomy and hospitality.

(Translated by Google) Excellent food and service, well-presented and served. It was an excellent experience. (Original) Ótimos pratos e atendimento no local, pratos bem apresentados e servidos. Foi uma experiência excelente.

(Translated by Google) Rustic-style restaurant with stone tables and pleasant atmosphere in Vila do Capão. With a strong personality, but very friendly, the service was provided by the owner and Chef who was very attentive and extremely careful with the service. Well-planned and varied menu, the food is of excellent quality, both in presentation and flavor. Farofa is the Chef's specialty and accompanies all dishes. It has a simple wine list, but it serves the purpose. Dessert is extremely essential. In addition to good conversation, the owner's taste in music made the environment even more cozy. A gastronomic experience that anyone who goes to Vale do Capão cannot miss. Highly recommended!!! (Original) Restaurante em estilo rústico com mesas feitas em pedra e ambiente agradável na Vila do Capão. De personalidade forte, mas bem simpático, o atendimento foi realizado pelo proprietário e Chefe que se mostrou muito atencioso e extremamente cuidadoso com o serviço. Cardápio bem planejado e variado, a comida é de excelente qualidade, tanto na apresentação, quanto no sabor. A farofa é uma especialidade do Chefe e acompanha todos os pratos. Tem uma carta de vinhos simples, mas que atende. A sobremesa é extremamente indispensável. Além da boa conversa, o gosto musical do proprietário tornou o ambiente ainda mais aconchegante. Experiência gastronômica que não pode faltar para quem vai ao Vale do Capão. Altamente recomendado!!!

(Translated by Google) I shouldn't even give one star to a restaurant where the owner greets me with such rudeness and disregard. I walked in and was immediately approached by him, and I asked if he sold the dish to go, hot... He questioned me as if he didn't understand what I was talking about, and only after I explained the concept of a lunchbox did he become very rude, telling me that he didn't make the kind of food to put in a lunchbox, that he didn't do that kind of thing with his food. He then offered me a takeout container and asked if it would work 🤔 Well, but wouldn't that be the devil of a lunchbox? I felt belittled and disrespected! (Original) Não deveria dar sequer uma estrela para um restaurante em que, o dono me recebe com muita estupidez e falta de cuidado. Entrei no local e logo fui abordada por ele, e perguntei se ele vendia o prato para viagem, quentinha... ele me questiona como quem não entende o que falo, e só depois que eu expliquei o conceito de marmita, ele foi muito grosseiro me dizendo que ele não fazia o tipo de comida para colocar numa marmita, que ele não fazia esse tipo de coisa com a comida dele. E me ofereceu uma embalagem para viagem e me perguntou se servia 🤔 ué, mas isso não seria o diacho da marmita? Eu me senti menosprezada e desrespeitada!

(Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant in Capão. The chef Luiz is a character, very attentive and charismatic. The dishes are tasty and very well served. The strong points are pasta, risotto and meat. Detail, for the delicious farofa that comes with almost every dish lol, and for the unique dessert on the menu, which lives up to its exclusivity as it is very delicious. (Original) Restaurante excelente no Capão. O chef seu Luiz é uma figura, muito atencioso e carismático. Os pratos são saborosos e muito bem servidos. O forte são as massas, os risotos e carnes. Detalhe, para a farofa deliciosa que vem acompanhando quase todos os pratos rs, e para a sobremesa única do cardápio, que faz jus a sua exclusividade pois é muito deliciosa.

(Translated by Google) Well served and not too expensive. Very good carbonara! This time my wife ordered a mushroom risotto but it wasn't that good. But the meat dishes are great and depending on how hungry you are and how much money you have, two people can share them. (Original) Bem servido e não tão caro. Carbonara muito bom! Dessa vez minha esposa pediu um risoto de cogumelos mas não tava tão bom. Mas pratos com carnes são ótimos e a depender da fome e do bolso duas pessoas dividem.

I don't often write reviews when the food is bad, cooks also can have a bad day sometimes.... but food in this restaurant was probably not fresh and I got poisoned and my friend also.

terrible service, I stopped to drink one beer and the wanted to charge me for a cover at the end which I never was told about which was more expensive than the beer.

Food was fantastic, I had a delicious Picanha (steak) - no problems with service, all good, would recommend.

1h40 after the arrival to receive 50 R$ raviolis ! Very long service. Raviolis were cold and the sauce I ordered was incorrect. Very expensive for the quality, I will never come back there again.

The food was so delicious that I wept with joy after eating! Wood-fired to perfection!! This was the best meal that I've had in a long time.

They now make pizza. And they use Italian flour !!! the one that costs 20 rs per kg.... nobody does that. beat pizza in town <3

Perfect 😄

You can spend a week here and will still feel it’s not enough to grasp everything this place can offer. From the food to the natural pool, the river, the fire pit, the view… amazing! The staff is a highlight too, super friendly, helpful and kind. We came here with a baby and were not disappointed.

Fantastic hostel, the rooms are very nice, the garden is beautiful, there are plenty of amenities and its reasonably priced.

very nice and comfortable hotel

Best poussada in Capao. Simples.

Wonderful spot in a beautiful valley
