Cachoeira da Lavra Velha
Cachoeira da Lavra Velha, in Rio de Contas, Bahia: a former gold mining site with pools for swimming, 30 km by car plus a 2.5 km walk.
Cachoeira da Lavra Velha runs through ground that once saw heavy gold prospecting and is now a natural spot, with pools for swimming below the fall. The name carries that history: lavra is the Portuguese word for a mining claim, and velha means old.
The waterfall is in Rio de Contas, a municipality in the Seabra microregion and the Brumado immediate region, in the state of Bahia.
Getting there has two stages. Around 30 km by car to the access point, then 2.5 km on foot, taking about 1 hour, with moderate physical effort. Bring shoes that grip on uneven ground and water for the walk.
