Fumacinha Waterfall Trail
One of the most challenging trails in Chapada. It's about 18 km long with river crossings, scrambling sections, many rocks, and very uneven terrain. It's an intense, beautiful experience, and only recommended for those who already have experience in long and technical trails.
The trail begins in the village of Baixão, passes by Lago do Baixão, and follows the Riachão riverbed to the Fumacinha canyon - an impressive 280-meter-high corridor that embraces the 110-meter waterfall.
