Description

With a drop of 382m in height, the Smoke Waterfall earns the title of being one of the highest in Brazil and is also an important postcard of Chapada Diamantina. It can be visited from both above and below, with the upper route being less strenuous. Its name comes from the effect of the high drop, which makes the water spread through the air like smoke, potentially forming a rainbow depending on the lighting.

Route

The trail begins in the Vale do Capão region, at the Visitor Center of the Vale do Capão Visitor Guides Association, 21 km from Palmeiras and 80 km from Lençóis. The trip is for a full day, and the first 2 km of the trail is a steep climb exposed to the elements, requiring physical preparation. However, after this section, the route becomes easy until the end, offering beautiful views of the Vale do Capão, until reaching the viewpoint to see the waterfall from above, with the option for a river bath. The view is stunning and well worth the visit and the hike.
