Serrano & Cachoeira da Primavera

Serrano

Red-brown rock pools and a small waterfall, a 10-minute walk from the edge of Lençóis. Soak here in the evening while watching the town.

Serrano lies on the west side of Lençóis, where the river flows across a wide sandstone bed. Tea-coloured, tannin-rich water collects in natural bathing pools of all sizes, which locals call “massage pools”. Following the Muritiba Municipal Park trail for about 15 minutes takes you to the Primavera waterfall and the Salões caves, with their coloured sandstone. The visit is free and suits your first day or a relaxed evening. Note that after heavy rain, water from upstream can rise quickly, so do not linger in the river.
