The Xingó Canyon emerged after the damming of the waters of the São Francisco River in order to build the Xingó Hydroelectric Power Plant, which was inaugurated in 1994. From there the perfect combination was created: the sacred waters of one of the most important rivers in the country. - the San Francisco - with lush and imposing rock walls.

Our family had a wonderful time navigating the stunning São Francisco River and taking in the breathtaking vistas of Xingó Canyon. While the transportation was comfortable, the day felt a bit hurried towards the end, leaving us wishing we had more time to explore some of the hidden gems along the way.

Exploring the stunning canyon along the São Francisco River was truly a highlight of my trip. I particularly loved kayaking through the crystal-clear waters, surrounded by breathtaking rock formations and vibrant green vegetation. The only downside was that the day felt a bit rushed at times, making it hard to soak in the beauty fully, but overall, it was an unforgettable adventure.
