Ribeirão do Meio
A natural stone slide about a 45-minute walk from the town of Lençóis. You glide down smooth rock into a cool pool.
Ribeirão do Meio lies about 4 km outside Lençóis, roughly a 45-minute walk. The river flows over a smooth, sloping sandstone bed, forming a natural slide. Visitors sit and let the water carry them down into the pool below. It is a favourite cooling spot for locals and backpackers. The upper rock can be slippery with moss, so slide down through the middle of the flow and never walk along the rock edges. The spot is free, and you can continue on to Cachoeira do Sossego from here. Bring drinking water, as there are no shops nearby.
