About Fumacinha Falls.

Fumacinha is the most technical day trip we run. Much of the 18 kilometres is walked inside the riverbed, hopping between wet rocks, with sections where safety equipment is needed to get through.

The setting makes up for it: the canyon narrows as you go and the walls reach 100 metres on either side. On the way the group passes Encontro Waterfall, where two watercourses meet.

The difficulty is not only the distance — it is the ground. This is a trail for people who have walked before and are comfortable on uneven, slippery terrain for hours at a time.

On our treks the picnic is lunch: meals balanced between vitamins, protein, fibre and carbohydrates.

    Fumacinha Falls.

    18 kmModerate / Heavy

    Departure from Lençóis at 5:00 am, with 30 minutes of tolerance. The early start is because both the day and the drive are long: around 260 km and 3 hours by car to Ibicoara.

    From Ibicoara, another hour to the trailhead, now on dirt road.

    The walk drops into the riverbed early on. The group heads upstream hopping across rocks, with the canyon gradually closing in and the walls gaining height.

    Past Encontro Waterfall, where two watercourses meet — a good stop to catch your breath before the final stretch.

    At the most exposed points we use safety equipment for the crossing, one at a time, with the guide in position.

    Arrival at Fumacinha, swim and picnic. The return is by the same route, and you get back to Lençóis after dark.
