MORRO DO PAI INÁCIO

The Morro do Pai Inácio is one of the postcards of the Chapada Diamantina and the highest plateau of the park, which it dominates with its power. It is a vast and desolate plateau, beaten by the winds. From the summit, at 1,120 meters above sea level, one has a magnificent view of the entire region, whose immensity and beauty can be appreciated, especially at sunset, when the golden light redraws the rocks and makes them even more photogenic.

It is not necessary to hire guides to climb the Morro, but a professional from the guide office will allow you to appreciate the endemic biodiversity of the place and know its legends. The ascent of the Pai Inácio hill is not very difficult. It is enough to be in good enough physical condition to cross the 500 meters of the path that leads to the top. The views of the Camelo and Três Irmãos mountain ranges are particularly spectacular.

The ascent to the Morro can be undertaken quite late, since it is quite short, but the best time to go up is at sunset (the time limit for going up is 5 pm). Once at the top, it is then a question of going towards the side where the sun sets to enjoy the spectacle.

The weather conditions are particularly changeable when climbing the Pai Inácio mountain. At the top, the wind can be difficult to bear, and temperatures can drop, especially when it rains. A windbreaker and a fleece are essential. You will then be able to fully enjoy the sunset.
