Quite a beautiful place, a lot of parking space. 5 minutes downhill to the cave. It now costs 70 reals per person (includes life vest, snorkel, and goggles).

Pure tourist attraction. We were allowed to stay in the water for 15 mins. That’s it. The place is a bit smaller than expected but still worth a look. You can’t dive, since it is mandatory to wear avest.

Really loved my visit to Poço Azul. They make sure it’s all very safe and it was a very unique experience swimming in the cave. I might have been lucky that there were no big groups when I was swimming, that made the experience relaxing and fun. Really glad I visited this place.

The cave is beautiful, floating experience is great, but this place has so much potential. It would be great to have someone explaining things about the place, historical information… the staff didn’t say much, just showed us around and gave us the rules for swimming.

It’s ok but not really special. If you ever been to Yucatán and have seen the cenotes this place becomes very normal

Beautiful, best to come at noon to get the sunlight inside the cave.

A must go in Chapada. quick and easy visit , well organized . Amazing swim the cave so beautiful . Also the road to get there…

Amazing view

A bit confusing here so stay with me...First things first- there are a lot of pictures of a rock sticking out and people posting for pictures on it with a full view of the valley. That is NOT at the mirante do vale do Pati, that one is located at cachoeirão (another 2 hour hike away from the mirante). Checkout my review for cachoeirão for more pics/detail. Regardless, the views are incredible from this mirante and one you should add to your list! There is parking right at the entrance of the trail head so drive right on up to it. We are active people and the hike from the parking area to the mirante took approximately 1:30h. For slower people expect 2-2:30h. The additional hike to cachoeirão took us 2h but again, if you are slow expect 3h. Few things you should consider bringing- lots of water (minimum 3lt per person), sunscreen, snacks (fruit, sandwiches, etc), comfortable shoes (preferably hiking boots), and your phone with Google Maps satellite view opened so you can track your positioning based on GPS. The trails aren't labeled so GPS will be your lifeline. Both trails can be done without a guide so save yourself some money and go have fun!

Sweet home!!!

(Translated by Google) Even among the clouds, the place is fantastic. A true painting. Regarding the level of difficulty of the trail, it depends on the chosen entry route, weather forecast, and your level of physical fitness. If you plan ahead and choose a good agency/guide, the experience is beautiful and unique. (Original) Mesmo entre as nuvens o lugar é fantástico. Uma verdadeira pintura. Sobre o nível de dificuldade da trilha, depende da rota de entrada escolhida, previsão do tempo, seu nível de preparo físico.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places I've ever visited was the Vale do Pati, in Chapada Diamantina, Bahia. I did the five-day, four-night trek. I highly recommend it!!! To get to Lençóis, you can go to Salvador and take a bus from the Rápido Federal company (that's what I took) at the bus station. The trip takes about 6 hours and costs around R$ 90.00 (November 2021). It's also possible to fly directly to Lençóis, but the ticket prices are ridiculously unaffordable (oh, Brazil). The return trip from Lençóis is the same. The Vale do Pati trek has rustic but well-equipped guesthouses with food, beds, showers, towels, and solar power for charging your electronic devices (there's no power when it's cloudy and the batteries are low). Bring your own toiletries and some cash to pay for any drinks you want to buy (cards are accepted, but sometimes they may not work). They offer juices during meals, coffee, and filtered water. The transport of everything, from food to dry waste, in and out of the Pati Valley, is done by donkeys. You'll see them along the way. I definitely recommend prior preparation with muscle strengthening for your legs and back before venturing into the Pati Valley, as well as good waterproof hiking boots, a good backpack with the essentials, and a raincoat. Arrive one day before and leave one day after your trek. There are agencies that provide the service with highly qualified guides, and there are guides who offer the service independently. Don't attempt anything without a guide! (Original) Um dos lugares mais lindos que eu já visitei foi o Vale do Pati, na Chapada Diamantina, Bahia. Fiz a travessia de cinco dias e quatro noites. Recomendo!!! Para chegar em Lençóis você pode ir até Salvador e pegar um ônibus da empresa Rápido Federal (foi o que eu peguei) na rodoviária. A viagem dura umas 6 horas e custa uns R$ 90,00 (novembro de 2021). Também é possível voar diretamente para Lençóis, mas os preços das passagens são ridiculamente impagáveis (ai, ai, Brasil). Para voltar de Lençóis é a mesma coisa. A travessia do Vale do Pati tem hospedarias rústicas, mas bem preparadas com alimentação, camas, banho, toalhas e energia solar para você carregar os seus equipamentos eletrônicos (quando está nublado e as baterias estão descarregadas não tem energia). Leve os seus próprios itens de higiene pessoal e dinheiro trocado para pagar por alguma bebida que você queira comprar (aceita-se cartões, mas, às vezes, pode não funcionar). Eles oferecem sucos durante as refeições, café e água filtrada. O transporte de tudo, desde comida até lixo seco, para dentro e para fora do Vale do Pati, é feito por burros. Você os vê pelo caminho. Definitivamente, recomendo um preparo prévio com reforço muscular para pernas e costas antes de se aventurar pelo Vale do Pati, além de uma boa bota impermeável de trilha, uma boa mochila com o essencial e capa de chuva. Chegue um dia antes e saia um dia depois da sua travessia. Há agências que prestam o serviço com guias muito qualificados e há guias que prestam o serviço independentemente. Não se aventure a fazer nada sem guia!

It is a short walk and a beautiful place to swim! This one you have to pay to get in! Amazing!

Woderful waterfall (10 reals entrance fee but it s all worth it!)

It's a simple trail, easy easy. They charged 12 reais entrance. It's best to go for sunset but be sure you're there before 4pm just so you have a refreshing swim. Around 5pm make sure you're in the first pond, all the way up where the view is best. If you want a full experience, you can hire a guide to rappel for 150 reais per person (we were in 4). The entire experience lasts 30 minutes to rappel 50m down the third pond. You can couple Riachinho with other attractions, usually Upper Fumaça.

Nice place to relax. The water is not very clean but still nice. 12RS entrance fee.

Beautiful sunset

Amazing sunset

Nice place. Two hours are enough to relax. Militaries and students have discount prices.

(Translated by Google) Rémi, my husband, and I are "addicted" to Paulistano! Sócrates' service is excellent! And the food is very good! The simplest and most basic dish, which is the chicken parmigiana with fries, is our favorite! But we've tried others, like the hump in milk with cassava, or the chicken parmigiana itself with sautéed vegetables... everything is very tasty and elegantly served! But the best thing - very, very good - is the petit gateau with ice cream! It's the perfect dessert to end a happy dinner! We recommend it enthusiastically! (Original) eu e Rémi, meu marido, somos "viciados" no Paulistano! O atendimento de Sócrates é excelente! E a comida é muito boa! O prato mais simples e mais básico, que é o frango à parmegiana com fritas é o nosso preferido! Mas já experimentamos outros, como o cupim ao leite acompanhado de aipim, ou o próprio frango à parmegiana acompanhado de legumes salteados... tudo é muito gostoso e elegantemente servido! Mas o melhor mesmo - muito, muito bom - é o petit gateau com sorvete! É a sobremesa perfeita para terminar um jantar feliz! Recomendamos com entusiasmo!

(Translated by Google) The place is clean and tidy, the bathroom is clean. My son and wife were lucky with their orders, the meal was very good. I don't know how lucky I was. The milk hump with manioc and soybean corn was a disaster, the Macheira was very hard and dry and there was no smell of soybean. The decoration of the dish was pretty. (Original) O lugar é limpo arrumado, banheiro limpo. O meu filho e minha esposa deram sorte nos pedidos, a refeição dentes estava muito boa. Eu já não sei a mesma sorte. O cupim ao leite com ainpim ao milho soyo foi um desastre, a Macheira estava muito dura ressecada e do soyo nem o cheiro tinha. A decoração do prato estava bonitinha.

(Original) O melhor baiao de dois com uma carne cozida por cima, desfiando no garfo. Me arrependi de nao ter tirado uma foto. O file de parmagiana tb não fica atrás. Comida boa é isso!

(Translated by Google) Very good bar and restaurant, the hidden sun-dried meat is sensational, the best I've ever had. Yesterday I had the hump with cooked cassava, which was amazing, such well-cooked meat. The dessert pudding is also very tasty! The cassava dumpling is also very good. The waiters are very friendly and attentive. There is a good public playground for children right at the door. (Original) Bar e restaurante muito bom, o escondidinho de carne de sol é sensacional, melhor q já comi. Ontem comi o cupim com mandioca cozida, que demais, que carne bem feita. O manjar de de sobremesa tb é muito gostoso! O bolinho de aipim tb é muito bom. Os garçons são muito simpáticos e atenciosos. Tem um bom parquinho público p crianças bem na porta.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful food at a fair price! We loved it, the best jerky escondidinho I've ever had. I highly recommend it. (Original) Comida maravilhosa por um preço justo! Amamos, melhor escondidinho de carne seca que já comi. Super recomendo
