Marimbus, Chapada Wetland

Marimbus, meaning large expanses of wet land, stands out for its contrast of vegetation. You will find dense forests, many rivers and swampy areas covered with mangroves, and within close proximity, the arid backlands of Bahia, the sertão.

The tour presents a unique place in Chapada Diamantina: a wetland in the middle of the backlands with waterfalls, river rapids, many types of birds and fishes to be admired, exuberant landscapes and relaxing moments.

Departure from Lençóis, passing by the Environmental Conservation Marimbus-Iraquara, in Remanso, which was the first village in the region to be set up by ex-slaves in Bahia. Then we will cross the Santo Antônio River.

We will then arrive at the Roncador River Waterfalls, where you can have a "natural hydromassage" and be in touch with nature so you can have moments of reflection.

The group will return to Lençóis along the old gold-mining road.

The itinerary presents some natural and almost unaffected landscapes but, at the same time, others that have been extremely marked by mining in the region, which was one of the wealthiest in the colonial period of exploration of minerals in Brazil.
