ORIGINAL VALE

35 to 50-minute climb... exposed to the sun, no shade in the middle of the stretch. Carry at least 2 liters of water. We will walk about 03 hours from the start of the trail to the traditional Mirante do Pati.

For safety reasons, please follow your guide's instructions. Pay close attention during the descent from the viewpoint after your snack.

The church only makes one of its restrooms available to the public who are not staying there. Please be brief!

Every care and attention is important when entering the riverbed, follow the guide's instructions.

Accommodation is assigned according to availability in native families’ houses in Vale do Pati and is subject to demand. Rooms are bunk‑bed style with the possibility of couples sharing. Single travelers are placed in rooms by gender. Each house usually has four bathrooms. Respect the families’ rules and customs.

Attention at Morro do Castelo: As it is a natural environment with difficult access, follow the guide's instructions and always stay with the group. On cloudy or rainy days, the ascent may be delayed until 10 am, depending on visibility conditions.

Attention: The snack may be taken on the top of Morro do Castelo or on the way back, depending on the conditions at the time and the group's preference.

Day 2 Summary: Morro do Castelo. Climb to Morro do Castelo. After the descent, we will take a break to swim and rest by the river. Then, we will return to the first accommodation to pick up our luggage and head to the second local house, where we will spend our last night.

Note: the snack may be served on top of the Morro do Castelo or when we return to the riverbed, as mentioned in the tab above.

Attention: The rules follow the same pattern as the first accommodation. Consult the previous guidelines and respect the meal times (dinner at 19h and breakfast at 7h), silence after 22h, and the coexistence rules of each house.

Check your personal items so you don't leave anything behind at the guesthouse.

On rainy days the rock in the crack becomes slippery. The guide will decide on the spot whether to take this route or the alternative one.

We will climb respecting the pace and limits of each person in the group, with technical breaks to breathe and drink water. We will pass through cliff areas, where care and attention are extremely important.

After the climb, it is necessary to use sunscreen, as the vegetation is shorter on the way to Cachoeirão and there is no shade. Note: In case of physical needs, communicate with your guide. Stay with the guide and the group.

Follow the guide's instructions, respect your limits, respect others, and respect the place.

Respect the guide's instructions, respect your own limits and the limits established as safety procedures, and respect the people and the place. We will be facing a 280 m free-fall cliff.

Attention: The scenery of Cachoeirão varies according to the time of year and rainfall. During rainy periods, we can observe more than 30 waterfalls; in dry seasons, only the main fall remains. This happens because the waters forming the waterfalls depend on rain, which flows down the slopes and concentrates on the cliff wall.

It is extremely important to use sunscreen, as the vegetation is low and we face frequent sun until we reach the car. We also refill our water at a strategic point.

From Cachoeirão to the parking lot, we will take 3 technical breaks to catch our breath and drink some water.

When descending Aleixo, attention and care are necessary, just like throughout the entire trekking. There are loose stones on the path, so descend slowly!

The return to Lençóis takes 2 hours on the road, the same road we came from. We will make a stop for food and restrooms along the way.
