One demanding walk: the Fumaça trail, about 12 km return with a steep climb of about 300 m in the first hour, 5 to 6 hours on foot (an easier river walk near Lençóis replaces it if you prefer). Pai Inácio is a 20 to 30 minute scramble up rock steps. Salvador means steep cobbles and steps. Two long road days of about 5.5 to 6 hours.

Arrive in Salvador

Salvador airport (SSA) to your hotel in the old town

  • Repas du soir
  • Nuit : Salvador
  • Environ 1 h de route

Fly into Salvador's international airport (SSA), about 30 km north-east of the centre, where a driver meets you for the 40 to 60 minute drive into the city, depending on traffic. Salvador was Brazil's first capital, founded by the Portuguese in 1549 on a cliff above the Bay of All Saints, and the city is still split between the Upper City on the ridge and the Lower City along the water. Your hotel is in or a short walk from the Pelourinho, the historic centre. Settle in and rest after the flight.

Soir

In the early evening your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the trip, what the long road day to the Chapada is like, what to pack for the caves and lagoons, then we walk a few minutes to a welcome dinner of Bahian food at a local restaurant.

Faune et météo : August to December is the dry season in the Chapada, so trails and skies are clear, but the Fumaça falls are thin late in the season and can drift away as spray. The Ceará coast is windy in these months, good for kitesurfers and cooler evenings on the dunes, and some smaller lagoons around Jeri dry out by November.

Questions

What does the price include?

Nine nights in 3-star-plus hotels and pousadas, the Salvador to Fortaleza flight, 9 breakfasts, 7 lunches and 3 dinners, airport transfers at both ends, our own vehicle and driver, 4x4s and buggies in Jeri, your See Sight Tours guide throughout with local Chapada guides, and every visit in the day plan, including the capoeira class, cooking evening, cave swim and Jeri fee.

How big is the group and who leads it?

The small group runs with 7 to 12 guests. A See Sight Tours guide travels with you from Salvador to Fortaleza, handling the flight, hotels and the plan each day. Local guides lead the Fumaça trail and the caves, as we do on every Chapada trail, and local drivers take the buggies in Jericoacoara.

How long are the drives?

Two days are long: Salvador to Lençóis on day 4 and Lençóis back to Salvador airport on day 7, about five and a half to six hours each, because Lençóis has only a few flights a week, not on the days we need. Both have a sit-down lunch and stops. Fortaleza to Jericoacoara and back is about four hours each way; the Chapada days are shorter.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately fit. The Fumaça trail is the hard day, about 12 km return with a steep first hour, and you can swap it for an easier river walk near Lençóis. Pai Inácio is a short, steep scramble. The cave swim needs you to be comfortable in water with a life vest.

Will the Fumaça waterfall be flowing?

Not always strongly. August to December is the dry season, and late in it the Fumaça can be a thin ribbon that blows away as spray before reaching the bottom, which is how it got its name, smoke. The walk across the plateau and the view down the 340 m cliff are worth it either way.

I'm travelling solo. What will I pay?

A room of your own is from CAD 870 more than the shared price, shown up front at booking. Solo travellers join the same group, tables and outings as everyone else. If you would rather share, tell us when you book and we will try to match you with a roommate of the same gender.

When is the best time to go?

August to December. The Chapada is dry, so trails and caves are easy and Pai Inácio sunsets are clear, Salvador is past its wettest months, and the Ceará coast is sunny and windy. Some small lagoons around Jeri dry out by November; Lagoa do Paraíso holds water all year.

Do I need a visa for Brazil?

Since 10 April 2025 Canadian, US and Australian citizens need a Brazilian e-visa, applied for online before travel. We confirm the current rule for your passport when you book, and the visa fee is not included.

Can I bring a big suitcase to Jericoacoara?

Bring a soft bag if you can. Jericoacoara has sand streets and only authorised 4x4s and buggies enter the village, so we change vehicles at Jijoca and luggage rides in the back of the 4x4. Hard cases fit but are awkward on sand; the pousada is a short walk from where the 4x4 stops.

Is Salvador safe for tourists?

With ordinary care, yes. As in any large Brazilian city, petty theft happens, so our hotels are in busy central areas, we use our own vehicle after dark, and your guide tells you which streets to avoid at night. Leave jewellery at home and keep your phone out of sight on the street. Jericoacoara is a small, relaxed village.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, from CAD 9,700 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, transfers and local guides.

How does booking work?

Pick a start date and send a request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 5,390 per person sharing, taxes included.
