06.Top of Fumaça 380m Waterfall
& Capão Valley
One of the most popular tours leads you to the top of the second highest waterfall in Brazil. Leaving Lençóis we travel by car while heading direction Palmeiras. From here we will leave the paved road and continue the next 20km on a gravel road up onto the entrance of the Capão Valley village passing the mighty Morrão, a prominent Table Mountain and the highest point in the northern Chapada. After registering our group at the trail head we continue hiking steep uphill until we reach an altitude of about 1300m. From here we already get rewarded with great views over the valley and the very special vegetation of this area. At a leisurely pace, we hike for another 60 minutes in order to admire the waterfall from above. To see the waterfall, you have to lay flat on a ledge. The "smokey waterfall" got its name because of water falling down, actually never hitting the ground and getting pushed back up again by the winds – which looks from a distance like "Fumaça" or smoke. On the way back, we will stop at the Riachinho waterfall where you can take a refreshing dip in the natural pool. When bad weather occurs, the alternative is the center of the village of Capão.
