Vale do Capão
A hippie-flavoured valley village and the starting point for Smoke Waterfall hikes, lined with vegetarian restaurants and craft workshops.
Vale do Capão, also known as Caeté-Açu village, lies in the municipality of Palmeiras, surrounded by flat-topped mountains. From the 1980s onward it attracted many alternative-lifestyle residents, and the village is now full of vegetarian restaurants, craft beer, yoga studios and craft shops, a very different atmosphere from Lençóis. It is the main starting point for hikes to the top of Smoke Waterfall and for the Pati Valley trek. Nearby sights include Riachinho Waterfall and Morrão. It is about 70 km from Lençóis, roughly 1.5 hours by car. Stay one or two nights, or make a day trip.
