Day hike to the Mosquito Waterfall in Chapada Diamantina, Bahía

Brazil is a magnificent country. Each region has its very unique charm and amazing spots to visits. And it is in Chapada Diamantina in Bahía, where we can find one of Brazil’s most fantastic treasures: the Mosquito Waterfall.

This wonderful trip begins after a 25 minute drive towards the Mosquito Waterfall. It will be a pleasant drive with enchanting sceneries. Thereon, we’ll reach the beginning of a marvellous 50 minute trekking path.

We’ll first get to admire the waterfall above us. Then, we’ll cross the river, to later start a 30 minute descent into the canyon. And, once we reach the bottom of the canyon, we’ll jump into its refreshing waters. Due to the current of the river and waterfall, the canyon offers a strong and relaxing natural hydro massage.

After refreshing ourselves, our adventure continues driving to Poço Azul or Blue Well in english. Here, we’ll decide if we take a well deserved break for lunch, or if we venture inside this spectacular well.

Please note that one of our main goals aside from keeping you safe, and ensuring your fun, is to contribute towards the preservation of the places we visit. Therefore, participants must take a quick shower to rinse off any sunscreen or other products, along with natural body oils before soaking inside the well. Upon completion, we’ll receive a life jacket and snorkeling equipment. After that, we’ll climb a wooden ladder to reach a deck, where we’ll find a small staircase which will lead us into the mesmerizing blue water.
