Safety and accessibility

Ask about steps, handrails, the actual distance, restrooms, and whether you’ll need to cross rocks. Avoid canyons during rain and respect flash flood warnings. Bring water and grippy shoes even on short outings. If you want to extend your trip, check out our Chapada Diamantina itinerary.
