Marimbus
A marshland known as the Chapada Diamantina’s “little Pantanal”. Paddle a canoe past water plants and reflections.
Marimbus is a vast freshwater wetland between Lençóis and Andaraí, known as the “little Pantanal of the Chapada Diamantina”. Visitors paddle canoes or small boats along black-water channels, with aquatic plants and water lilies on both banks and flat-topped mountains reflected in the water. You may spot waterbirds and caimans. A common route is to paddle and then walk to Romeu Waterfall for a swim, taking half a day to a full day. You need to join a tour or hire a guide. It is about 1 hour’s drive from Lençóis.
