Chapada Diamantina

Today, I saw one of the most beautiful sights of the world. The poço Azul is a small cave with metallic blue water and a small opening atop the cave allowing the sun rays to shine on this small enclosing. The water is crystal clear and you can see the bottom of the cave through the water. We were allowed to snorkel. Amazing!

At 420 meters, the cachoeira de Fumaça is the longest waterfall of South America. As you trek and you reach the top of the hill, you are amazed at the height of his cliff. Then, we get to lie down on the edge of the cliff and look straight down and we see the waterfall. It’s not the biggest waterfall, it’s quite slender actually. But the height is so high that the water does not reach the ground. Halfway through the cliff, the water turns into mist and sprinkles of water reach the ground. Quite a sight!

After Fumaça, we went to another smaller waterfall with a pond where we could swim.

Between yesterday and today, I fulfilled two of my dreams… swimming inside a cave filled with water and swimming underneath a waterfall! :)
