Rio São Francisco and the Ilha do Ferro Artisans
5 Days
Nestled on the banks of the São Francisco River, Ilha do Ferro is a hidden gem of northeastern Brazil, where art, nature, and tradition blend harmoniously. This small riverside community is renowned for its thriving artistic scene, particularly its unique handcrafted wooden sculptures that have gained international recognition. Walking through its charming streets, you'll meet talented local artists, visit their workshops, and witness the creative spirit that makes this place truly special. Beyond its art, Ilha do Ferro offers breathtaking landscapes. Enjoy a relaxing boat ride along the São Francisco River, exploring its serene waters, canyons and legends.
The journey begins in Piranhas, a historic riverside town in the São Francisco Canyons area, steeped in Cangaço history (the legendary outlaw movement of Brazil’s Northeast), where guests settle into a charming hotel overlooking the São Francisco River. From there, a boat trip reveals the dramatic River Canyons, where towering rock formations frame turquoise waters, inviting travelers to swim in hidden natural pools.
A private transfer then takes travelers to Ilha do Ferro, a secluded riverside village known for its artistic soul. Guests stay in a beautifully restored local home, immersing themselves in the region’s tranquil pace. The following days are spent discovering the village’s renowned local artisan workshops, meeting skilled craftsmen, and admiring intricate woodwork and sculptures that capture the essence of the São Francisco’s cultural heritage.
