We begin our day very early 08:00.  You will have nice views to the mountains while driving to Andaraí.  We do a quick stop to visit a waterfall on the way.  After 1,5 hour on the asphalt road, we need another 30 minutes on a dirt road to get to the Enchanted Well ( Poço Encantado) . If we are lucky we can enter the cave right away. With our helmet and flashlight we start to walk down into the cave. After a couple of steps we enter the cave by climbing down a small wooden ladder. Don’t worry, it is not too difficult, there is always a security rope. Suddenly from the dark the magic of the Enchanted Well appears before us with its electric blue waters.

The best moment is between 10:00 and 13:30

“The sunlight is reflected by minerals in the water, especially magnesium, and creates an unique spectacle.  The bottom of the cave is 60 meters deep ! Only between April and September there is direct sunlight entering the cave.  In the cave there is a local guide that tells us detailed info.  The guide is specialized in taking pictures of the pool with you in the front.”

We continue our drive along dirt roads to the Blue Well (Poço Azul).  Depending the sound of your stomach and other groups in the cave we will enter the cave before lunch ( a delicious buffet ).  You will need to take a quick shower to wash off sunscreen and natural body oils.  They will provide us with a life jacket and snorkeling gear before we climb down a wooden ladder. Down there is a deck and via a little stair we enter the amazing blue water.

Thanks  you mother nature for this once-in-a-lifetime dip. It gives the impression that they are all but floating in space.

Sun rays  radiate the blue waters, which remain 24 degrees all year round, forming a spectacle of rare beauty.

The best moment is between 12:30 and 14:00.

“A documentary from National Geographic tells the story of the scientific expedition that rescued, among others, the complete skeleton of a Megatherium, a beast the size of an elephant.  The bones are now in a museum in Belo Horizonte.”

Chapada Diamantina est remplie de routes de terre en très mauvais état.

Certaines balades et tours sont plus chers à cause des routes de terre : elles sont souvent très difficiles pour les voitures normales et certaines ne sont practicable qu’en jeep ou 4×4, et sont généralement en encore plus mauvais état après la pluie. Une route de terre peut facilement casser une voiture normale.
