About the Cachoeirão Viewpoint.
Eighteen kilometres in a day to reach an overlook standing 280 metres above the Pati Valley. After heavy rain you can take in more than 20 waterfalls in the same valley, all at once.
The trail is mostly flat and crosses the Gerais do Rio Preto, an open area that makes up more than 70% of the National Park — an immense garden under the open sky, with high-altitude plant species and the ranges behind.
Beside the overlook there is a bathing area with a natural pool. That is where the group eats before starting back.
We think the ideal visit to the Pati is at least 3 days. But for anyone with only a few days in the Chapada, this is an excellent choice — and in the same one-day format we also run the Rampa Overlook, the most famous in the valley.

Cachoeirão Viewpoint.
18 kmModerateDeparture from Lençóis at 7:00 am heading south towards the Chapada Diamantina National Park. That is 80 km and about 2 hours by car to the village of Guiné, where the hike starts and ends.
Arrival, a general briefing about the route, a run through the checklist and the start of the walk.
First stretch: a 30-minute climb on rugged terrain to the Aleixos Overlook. A short break, then on into the valley.
Around 1.5 hours walking on flat ground across the Gerais do Rio Preto. Midway we cross the Rio Preto — alternative routes may be taken depending on the weather.
Arrival at the Cachoeirão Viewpoint, 280 metres above the valley. If the route is walked after heavy rain, more than 20 waterfalls are in view at once.
A meal at the bathing area next to the overlook, with its natural pool, and time to get ready for the return.
Back along the same route, with an optional stop at the Rio Preto for a swim. At the vehicle around 4:00 pm, a short stop in Guiné — where a good meal is available — and back to Lençóis, in town around 7:00 pm.
