Day 2 — Classic full-day excursion – Caves itinerary
Our adventure begins by car, leaving Lençóis for the municipality of Iraquara, known as the town of caves. The visit takes place at Gruta da Lapa Doce, the second-largest limestone cave in Brazil. The crossing of the cave, a 900-metre route, takes in impressive limestone formations (stalactites and stalagmites).
After the cave crossing, lunch is served at a local restaurant (open buffet) with typical regional dishes. After lunch, driving on to Fazenda Pratinha, you can enjoy a wonderful swim in crystal-clear water. There is also the option of a 30-minute float through Gruta da Pratinha (optional service, paid separately) and a swim in a lake of astonishing blue inside the cave.
The itinerary ends at one of the region's icons, Morro do Pai Inácio, the most popular attraction and the symbol of the Chapada Diamantina. The panoramic view from the top of the hill is incredible, quite breathtaking. To finish, we watch a spectacular sunset.
Level 1-2: Easy-Moderate.
