Leaving from the town of Andaraí, the trail to Cachoeira do Ramalho from below takes about 2 hours. The walk is mostly done inside the canyon of Rio Baiano, where you can spot historical remnants of mining at various points along the trail and even enjoy a swim in Poço do Fervedor (Boiling Pot). In Chapada Diamantina, the places called “poço” are wider stretches of the river where the waters are calmer, making them an ideal environment for swimming and cooling off. The beautiful waterfall is impressive with its 90-meter height and is best appreciated during rainy seasons, as it may dry up at certain times of the year.
Access on foot:6 km. Average trail time: 2 hours. Physical effort: Moderate.
