Standing at Chapada Diamantina region, its main attractions are Ferro Doido [1] waterfall and Brejões cave, both among the most beautiful natural monuments in Bahia, but are almost unexplored by tourists given to the city's lack of infrastructure. There are several other waterfalls and caves around the town.
