- Vale do Pati — The classic multi-day trek and my personal favorite. Real backcountry: long ridge walks, deep canyons, rivers and several waterfalls, plus nights in simple pousadas or camps beside tiny mountain hamlets. It’s the place that feels truly remote in Chapada — lots of variety in terrain, great viewpoints (perfect for sunrise), and chances to meet locals who still work the land. Expect 3-4 days for the loop and bring good legs — the climbs and descents are honest.
- Morro do Pai Inácio — A short, steep hike to a single iconic mesa with a ridiculously good 360° view. It’s the one-shot photo stop everyone recognizes: wind-swept rock, big open skies, and dramatic cliffs you can walk right up to. The trail is quick and accessible, so it’s perfect if you want a big payoff with minimal

- Morro do Pai Inácio — A short, steep hike to a single iconic mesa with a ridiculously good 360° view. It’s the one-shot photo stop everyone recognizes: wind-swept rock, big open skies, and dramatic cliffs you can walk right up to. The trail is quick and accessible, so it’s perfect if you want a big payoff with minimal effort — come for sunrise or sunset to beat the hottest part of the day (and the crowds).
- Cachoeira da Fumaça — One of Brazil’s tallest free-falling falls (around 340 m), famous for turning into mist before it hits the ground. The hike to the top viewpoint is a proper day trek with great ridge scenery and several lookout points; the base route is much longer and tougher if you want to see it from below. What makes it special: the “smoke” effect and the dramatic sense of space — you feel tiny up there.
- Poço Encantado & Poço Azul — Two crystalline cave-pools where light shafts and unbelievable blue water steal the show. These are short, gentle walks from the road but feel like entirely different ecosystems: snorkelers and swimmers float over submerged rock formations; photographers time their visit for the narrow beams of light that pierce the caves. The clarity of the water and surreal color are unlike most surface rivers you’ll see.
- Cânion do Buracão — A dramatic canyon hike that ends with a narrow slot and a big plunge waterfall you can swim under. The approach has narrow trails, a river walk and a short scramble; some sections can feel adventurous (there are options that include lowering yourself down or taking a boat depending on water levels). It’s cinematic — steep canyon walls, emerald pools, and a real sense of being enclosed by the landscape.
