Overview of 4P's Tour

Diving into Poço Azul (Blue Pool)

Step 1

Our day begins at Poço Azul, one of Chapada Diamantina’s most extraordinary natural treasures. This vertical cave shelters a deep, impossibly clear blue pool, illuminated by natural light streaming through the cave ceiling. The underwater visibility here is remarkable, making it a top destination for snorkeling and swimming. You’ll be able to see unique rock formations and aquatic life up close.

Surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery and peace, Poço Azul invites you to slow down and marvel at the beauty of nature. A sacred pause in the heart of Chapada Diamantina.

Lunch at Vale das Piscinas (Pools’ Valley)

Step 2

After the magic of Poço Azul, we head to the Valley of Pools (Vale das Piscinas), a dreamlike landscape filled with natural pools formed by gentle flowing waters. They run between smooth, rounded stones and lush native vegetation, creating a tranquil oasis ideal for relaxing.

Here, every dip is a refreshing experience for body and soul. The light playing on the water creates dazzling reflections. It is perfect for photos and peaceful contemplation. The Valley of Pools is a true hidden gem where silence and nature reign.

Poço do Diabo and Its Waterfall

Step 3

Next, we take a short 30-minute hike through a typical Cerrado landscape toward one of the most impressive waterfalls in Chapada Diamantina: the Devil’s Pool (Poço do Diabo). As you walk, the panoramic views unfold gradually, preparing you for what lies ahead.

At the end of the trail, we reach a powerful waterfall plunging into a crystal-clear natural pool. It is perfect for an invigorating swim. The sound of the rushing water and the sheer force of the falls create a mystical atmosphere, showcasing nature’s raw energy. It’s a place that inspires awe and invites adventure.

Step 4

To close the day, we hike up Pai Inácio Hill, the most iconic viewpoint in the Chapada. The 20-minute trail is accessible but rewarding, with sweeping views that open up as you climb.

From the top, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular 360° panoramas of the surrounding valleys, cliffs, and mountains. A true highlight of any trip to Chapada Diamantina. More than just a lookout point, Pai Inácio is a place to pause, reflect, and soak in the energy of the landscape. The perfect spot for unforgettable photos and one last breath of wilderness.
