Additional Information

The Xingó Canyon is a marvel formed by the damming of the waters of the São Francisco River for the construction of the Xingó Hydroelectric Plant, inaugurated in 1994. This union created a stunning setting, where the sacred waters of the São Francisco River meet imposing rock walls.

The adventure starts early, at 6:30 am, with departure from the hotels towards the pier to board the Catamaran Rei do Cangaço or Delmiro Gouveia. Accompanied by an experienced local guide, we will have the opportunity to dive into the crystal clear waters of Velho Chico and explore the paradisiacal “Gruta do Talhado”.

After exploring this place where “the hinterland became the sea”, our tour comes to an end and we return to the hotel, arriving at 7:00 pm.

The canyons are beautiful - I took the tour with LucasTur @quiosqueflordemandacaru, with a boarding point at Praia Dulce. An organized place, we were very well looked after by Lucas and his mother Ana. The boatman was Cícero, who was welcoming and let us enjoy the tour in peace. He took us to Hidden Canyons, which for us was the best part of the tour in terms of beauty. To finish, we went to Castanho, which has an area reserved for swimming in Rio (it was very dirty on the day), a swimming pool with a finite edge (R$10 for access), a team of efficient waiters and good food. For us, the highlight of this place is the trampoline next to the pool, which is 10m high and falls into Rio. We were three adults and a 9-year-old child.

Xingó Canyons - wonderful - A very beautiful tour, very worth it!!!! We had a drizzle at the beginning, but then the sun came out and made the day even more beautiful, you can't go to Aracajú and not see the Canyons, I suggest extending the trip to Piranhas and returning only the next day, as the trip is tiring.

Very beautiful - Very beautiful. It's very tiring to make the round trip from Aracaju. If I'm going back one day, I'll certainly rent a car and sleep in the city of Piranhas.
