The tour
Day 1: Mosquito Waterfall and Poço do Diabo
After breakfast, we'll drive to Fazenda Santo Antônio, 40 km from Lençóis. From there, just 2 km of walking takes us to the Mosquito Waterfall. The 70-meter waterfall gets its name from the tiny diamonds, called “mosquitos”, that were found in the diamond-mining days. On the way back, we'll have time to enjoy a delicious lunch of regional food at the farm's restaurant.
We continue to the Rio Mucugezinho swimming area, beside the BR 242 highway, which has a lovely natural pool and a shop selling stone handicrafts. Walking another 20 minutes down along the river, we reach Poço do Diabo, a 20-meter waterfall with a large pool for swimming. Rappelling and zip line are available at Poço do Diabo (optional). Return in the late afternoon.
