About the tour.

A trip by car with short walks, designed for anyone who wants to see the Chapada Diamantina without taking on a long trail. Every site has easy access, is safe, and has facilities for visitors.

There are three stops: Mosquito Waterfall, the Vale das Piscinas on the Mucugêzinho river — where Poço do Diabo is — and Pai Inácio Hill, the best-known landmark in the region.

The longest walk of the day is 700 metres; the shortest, 300. Together they make up the 4 km, spread across 120 km of road. That is why it works with children and with people who do not walk much.

The day closes on top of Pai Inácio, where the guide tells the legend the hill is named for and the view opens over the whole valley.

Departure from Lençóis at 8:00 am for Fazenda Santo Antônio, where the entrance to Mosquito Waterfall is. That is 40 km by car, about 1 hour, plus a 700-metre walk to the base of the falls.
A swim at the waterfall and back to the car.
Another 28 km to the Mucugêzinho bathing area and a 15-minute walk to Poço do Diabo — a huge natural pool of dark, cold water. The group stays there until 4:00 pm.
Another 5 km by car and a 300-metre walk, around 20 minutes, to the top of Pai Inácio Hill. Up there the guide tells the legend the place is named for and the view opens over the valley.
Back to Lençóis, with the view from the BR-242 on the way.

There are two swimming stops in the same day: bring a towel and, if you can, a dry change for the final stretch up Pai Inácio.

The mammoth protects the herd. Always.

Local trekking guides, trained in pre-hospital first aid (APH) and in minimum guiding competencies (CMC, to Brazilian ABNT standards), some with WAFA certification — ask us about availability. All carry a remote-area first-aid kit. The protocols start before the tour, in the intake form every participant fills in.

Risks and limitations — please read

The walks are short, but Poço do Diabo is a deep natural pool of dark, cold water — go in with the group and follow the guide. The final climb up Pai Inácio is 300 metres of steps and rock: short, but steep.

In operation we carry portable radios and the two-way SPOT X satellite communicator, with an S.O.S. button for extreme situations.

This is not a 100% safe activity. Even with every precaution, mishaps and accidents can happen — as in virtually any adventure activity in a natural environment: venomous animals, falls causing fractures and grazes, storms, flooding. Mechanical failures in the transport can also delay or alter the itinerary.

The activity takes place in wilderness, where rescue can be slow: help may take more than 5 hours to arrive, and the cost of the rescue falls to the participant — it is not included in the booking.

During the activity, follow the team’s instructions strictly. Carrying every mandatory item on the checklist is essential: missing any one of them makes participation impossible.

A 50% deposit confirms the booking, by transfer, deposit or boleto. The remaining 50% at check-in in cash, or by deposit up to 2 business days before.

Card payments carry a 6% surcharge and can be split into up to 12 instalments, according to the rates charged by PagSeguro, Mercado Pago and similar providers.

Send the receipt with the confirmed date, and the full name and ID number of each participant.

Cancellation by the traveller follows Brazilian EMBRATUR normative resolution no. 161/1985:

30+ days before: 90% refunded
21–29 days: 80% refunded
7–20 days: 50% refunded
Fewer than 7 days: no refund
During the package: no refund

Before cancelling: you can name a replacement or keep the amount as credit for another date. Booking fee: 10% as a penalty if you cancel after confirmation.

No-show: failing to appear means losing the full amount. Mamut may change the itinerary when the weather compromises safety; the tour runs even in rain, except in cases of force majeure.

We work with a network of partners. If a tour is passed on to another operator, the prices charged may vary with the number of participants, the type of tour and the logistics required — they may match our counter price, or be adjusted up or down.

By booking with us, you agree that where a tour is passed on, delivery of the service becomes the responsibility of the designated operator. Our role is to broker the booking and ensure that what was contracted is delivered; we are not liable for price differences identified after booking.
