The deepest part is 60 m. It is prohibited to swim in the pool, as the water is stationary. From June to 7th of September the light from the sun enters, creating a blue shaft of light in the pool. Your next stop is in Mucuge, a small city in the middle of the Chapada, where you visit the “Cemiterio Bizantino“, built in the XIX century in Byzantine style (unique example in the American continent). After this you go to the “Projeto Sempre Viva“– it is doing serious work in the reproduction of native plants, specially some endangered species of sempre viva, and with the environmental education of eco-tourism. You cannot miss the Waterfall “Tiburtino“, where the river gives you a calm and fresh bath. If there is time enough, you stop in “Xique Xique de Igatu“, a ghost town 10 km from the city Andaraí. 15 thousand people lived there in the diamond era, now there are only the abandoned ruins and 300 people left.  You arrive back in Lençóis at around 7 p.m.
