05. Marimbus Canoe, Waterfall & Swimming
This delightful tour begins with a 45-minute ride on a dirt road to the small village of Remanso, a former Quilombola founded by escaped slaves, where their descendants still live. From there starts an idyllic 1.5 hour canoe trip through the Marimbus-marsh (mini Pantanal), framed by the Serra do Sincora mountains. The wetlands region was formed by the convergence of two rivers (Rio Santo Antônio and Rio Utinga) and, it is particularly fascinating because of the varied flora and fauna. On the way, you can occasionally see birds and Capuchin monkeys. On rare occasions, you may catch a glimpse of capybaras and caimans. You will then take a 20-minute walk to an old country house, where lunch is served. Following the trail to the Roncador river, you will encounter great natural "jacuzzi" with several small waterfalls and slides. Here you can splash around and enjoy the panoramic view of the Chapada. We will then return to Remanso by canoe and drive back to Lençóis.
Option walk back:
In case you’d prefer to walk back to Remanso we will first cross the river Roncador on foot (or by boat if the water-levels are high) and follow a small trail leading us through tiny, hidden communities within the Marimbus. It’s a good adventure if you’d like to learn more about the people living out here and catch a different angle of the Marimbus landscape. The trail itself is easy and it will take us in about 2 hours back to the Quilombola of Remanso.
