Ribeirão De Cima
Ribeirão De Cima
Ribeirão de Cima is a series of natural pools and small waterfalls along the Rio Ribeirão, located just 3. 5 kilometers from the town of Lençóis in the Chapada Diamantina region of Bahia.
It sits along the trail leading toward the Cachoeira do Sossego and is typically visited alongside the nearby Ribeirão do Meio. Compared to the livelier Ribeirão do Meio, Ribeirão de Cima is notably quieter and more tranquil.
Its smaller pools are well suited for a relaxing swim, and some of the rock formations channel the current into natural whirlpool-like jets.
The round-trip trail covers roughly 7 kilometers, takes between three and four hours in total, and is considered easy, though care is needed when crossing the riverbed.
