O Canyon do Xingó surgiu após o represamento das águas do Rio São Francisco para a construção da Usina Hidrelétrica de Xingó, que foi inaugurada em 1994. A partir daí, foi criada a combinação perfeita: as águas sagradas de um dos rios mais importantes do país – o São Francisco – com exuberantes e imponentes paredes rochosas.

O passeio começa cedo às 06:30 saindo dos hotéis em direção ao pier para embarcar no Catamarã Rei do Cangaço ou Delmiro Gouveia. Um guia local nos conduzirá para contar um pouco sobre as curiosidades do local e nos apresentará à Pedra do Gavião, Morro dos Macacos, Pedra do Japonês e ao impactante Paraíso do Talhado.

Após conhecer o lugar que “o sertão virou mar”, o passeio termina e retornamos ao hotel com horário estimado de chegada às 19:00.
