About the Sossego Waterfall.
One of the most impressive and rewarding trails in the Chapada Diamantina. It involves hiking up and down, walking and jumping on stones literally in the Ribeirão riverbed, surrounded by canyons over 100 metres high.
The path to reach the waterfall is quite intense, with many ascents and descents. The accumulated elevation gain by the end of the day can exceed 750 m.
On the walks the picnic stands in for lunch: balanced meals across vitamins, protein, fibre and carbohydrates.

Sossego Waterfall.
15 kmModerate / HardDeparture at 8:00 — with 15 minutes of tolerance — from the centre of Lençóis, on the traditional trail towards Ribeirão do Meio. It is about 30 minutes to the Rio Ribeirão viewpoint, from where you already see part of the route ahead.
From there the trail follows the river upstream, with the landscape changing at every step. Along the way you pass old constructions and the shelters that housed prospectors searching for diamonds.
After roughly 1 hour you reach the Ribeirão riverbed, where you have to jump across many stones — which may be slippery — and, depending on the weather, cross the water. This is the stretch that asks the most of the group. Another 30 minutes to the waterfall.
The way back follows the same route, with a stop at the Caldeirões do Ribeirão de Cima for a swim in shallower water.
