Buracão waterfall – A paradise dug in the rocks

Another adventure on this trip of course had to have a trail, without track life is boring. Considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls of the Chapada Diamantina and the favorite of my dear friend Livia Lee Buracão waterfall is without a doubt one of the most beautiful nature made creations in the chapada.

Located at the southern end of the Plateau in the city of Cascavel track for Buracão waterfall is in the quiet and with many jewels on the way. We came in to pick up the trail already almost noon, as I've mentioned in other posts, and I recall. If arrange in advance not to stay without Guide! We were lucky to get in Pousada Flor de Lótus that D. Conceição has several contacts and one of them was available. Once again, We take the dirt road to another adventure, and the car as?

The time limit for entry into the track is 2:00 pm, already the walk takes more or less 1:00. Theproveitamos a little shop at the entrance to the parking lot to buy sandwiches since everyone was starving, each “sandwich” it cost $10. The first part of the hike is virtually all flat. As it was too dry, We followed the river Una in the call Spread. The dry landscape of the cerrado, sometimes middle desert, If mixture, with rivers, Wells and waterfalls as we walked.

I went to meet with a creation of Santos Dumont in the middle of the trail, possibly the place where I least expect in life! Its famous stairs designed to always start up on the right foot are out of place of wild landscape. But they're super welcome!! Because, having them on the trail prevents stones and kills the back are worn.

The trail continues and through the Wonderful Well, where we dive on back, the Orchid that falls the guide said to be incredible when the water level is higher. As we arrived late, We passed right through all possible charts, leaving to enjoy on the back, including the mirante. Already almost coming on Buracão waterfall, We pass by the magnificent waterfall in the Green Corner, We stopped for a fotinha and follow path.

Coming, Finally, (OK, the trail isn't even that big), You should get one of the life jackets so you can enter the river. Because of the intensity of the waterfall, the use is mandatory to avoid accidents. The walls of all the area appear to have been torn fingernail to make room for the river pass.

The water shortage in the region over us favoring to take pictures under the fall. After all we have to think on the positive side of things don't go as planned. I've seen pictures of the big hole with large volume of water and it's scary the power. The fall of the waterfall is approximately 85 m and depth, as I've been asked on instagram, varies from 1 the 50 m.

Even though my family thinks I do crazy things full of adrenaline, I am a normal person, are Ed and Leo that climbed and jumped to a plateau in the middle of the Canyon. All people uncompensated! hahaha and skipped the "bridge" that the staff uses to get dry facing the Buracão waterfall. To do those jumps have to make the saves lives or you get hurt.

Could we fix it and make our way back, Anyway we couldn't leave without taking advantage of the other track charts. Be able to view the waterfall from the top is amazing. In addition to the adrenaline of being in beiradinha, do you realize how she is giant.

The well is pretty cool, It was cold but not so much, even with a rest of sol gave to enjoy. We're trying to do pictures with the dome of the GoPro, Since the contrast of water almost color of Coke with the sky is amazing, nor did countless attempts, Imagine…

Already the Orchid falls as I said before was weak from water, but it does have beautiful angles for sure. This is over that we didn't even stop to getting wet.

Path that follows and we will make our traditional photo "my life is a success," but the camera decided to involve and take a little time to get, the tones that the sunsets provide are unique.

 

In the back of the waterfall we stopped to buy a cachaça and rapadura pots, I had never eaten I found really good, Although very sweet for my taste lol. Cachaça in spite of the Ed have bought, I did a favor to destroy at the Inn, big job after to clean and get rid of the smell hahaha. Desculpaaaaa!! I still tried to buy another the next day but he wouldn't, I wash my hands huh Edward.

After walking, dive, swim, nothing better and more comfortable to tell with the below- structure of the Inn and cooks of handful to enjoy a dinner simply delicious.

Before sleep yet ventured to do the so expected long exposure pics to register the starry sky of the Chapada Diamantina. The sky there is indescribable, the problem is that the full moon gets in the way a lot of these pictures of long exposure, Even so, It was worth it.
