Vale do Capão, a district of Palmeiras (BA), is the base for Cachoeira da Fumaça and the Vale do Pati trek, in the Chapada Diamantina.
Vale do Capão is a valley ringed by mountains in the Chapada Diamantina, with small villages where rural life, art and an alternative way of living come together and draw travellers from many places. In the IBGE administrative records the district is named Caeté-Açu, but almost everyone calls it by the name of the valley.
The district belongs to the municipality of Palmeiras, in the Seabra microregion and immediate region. Palmeiras is one of the six municipalities that share the Parque Nacional da Chapada Diamantina, along with Andaraí, Ibicoara, Itaetê, Lençóis and Mucugê.
Capão works as the starting point for Cachoeira da Fumaça and for the Vale do Pati trek, and shorter walks around the valley also begin here. Vegetarian and vegan food, organic markets and holistic therapies are part of everyday life in the valley.
For anything inside the national park, keep in mind that there is no entrance fee and no mobile phone signal. ICMBio recommends hiring a visitor guide, since the trails are not signposted. Being in Palmeiras is not the same as being inside the park, so check with your guide exactly where the tour takes place.
The Vivai catalogue has active experiences in Vale do Capão, with departures to Águas Claras, Cachoeiras da Angélica e Purificação, Poço do Gavião, Cachoeira do Rio Preto e das Rodas, Cachoeira do Riachinho, Cachoeira da Fumaça and Vale do Pati.
