Hiking - Rio Lençóis
There are great hikes leaving from town that the adventurous can undertake without a guide. One is a 3km walk out of town, following the Rio Lençóis upstream through the Parque Municipal da Muritiba.
You first pass a series of rapids known as Cachoeira Serrano. Off to the right is the Salão de Coloridas Areias (Room of Colored Sands), where artisans gather material for bottled sand paintings, so its original 40 colors have been greatly diminished. You then pass Poço Halley (Swimming Hole), before seeing Cachoeirinha (Little Waterfall) on a tributary to your left. Continuing upriver, Cachoeira da Primavera (Spring Waterfall) is on another tributary on your left.
