Morro do Pai Inácio
The most iconic flat-topped mountain in the Chapada Diamantina. The climb takes about 20 minutes, and the summit offers views over a field of table mountains at sunset.
Morro do Pai Inácio is the landmark flat-topped mountain of the Chapada Diamantina, rising to about 1,120 metres. From the car park beside the BR-242 highway, a stone-step trail leads to the top in about 20 to 30 minutes. The summit plateau offers wide views of table mountains, valleys, cacti and bromeliads, and the sunset from here is especially beautiful. It is the final stop on almost every day tour. Entry costs about 10 reais. Under national park rules, visitors must descend after sunset. The mountain is about 25 km from Lençóis, roughly 30 minutes by car or tour.
