Description

If you join me on this 3-day trek to Fumaca Waterfall in Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, I promise you will bear witness to some of the most jaw-dropping and breathtaking scenery in all of Brazil, as we hike through waterways, canyons and valleys to reach the highest waterfall in Bahia, all while taking in the truly epic and amazing views out over this special terrain.

The Fumaca Waterfall is located within the national park of Chapada Diamantina in the state of Bahia, a popular location for hikers and adventurers. There is a wide array of flora and fauna in the park, with protected species such as jaguars, giant armadillos, giant anteaters and white-necked hawks calling it home.

Our trip begins on the first morning in the village of Lencois, from where we head straight to the lush green hills above the town. This day entails much hiking on rocky terrain, with frequent stops to admire the awesome views back out over the valleys, before we set up camp for the night next to a peaceful and lovely river.

The second day is the undisputed highlight of the trip, as after a morning swim to invigorate and refresh us we head to the Fumaca Waterfall, in all 390m of its glory. The waterfall itself is absolutely magnificent, and as the highest waterfall in Bahia the water does not even reach the bottom!

The third and final day involves hiking up to the summit of the Serra do Sincora, before heading along to the summit of Fumaca, the massive and huge expanses of the green valleys below opening up, making for some of the best pictures you can possibly take.

We then descend down and head back to Lencois, thrilled and content with our 3 days exploring this exquisite part of the world.

This 3-day trek to Fumaca Waterfall is a stunning experience, and one to add to the bucket list – book now before its too late!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
