L ocated on the shores of the Lençóis River, a few yards from the historical centre of town, Hotel Canto das Águas, owned by Carlos and Yasmim, combines charm, good taste and harmony with the Chapada Diamantina nature - a scenery of impressing canyons, valleys, waterfalls, caves and rupiculous fields. Along the rocky river-bed, the inn was conceived for minimum interference with the local landscape: the gardens and inner courtyards evoke the Chapada wild flowers, the staircase resemble the river rocks themselves, and even the swimming pool was thought as a typical rapid from Rio Lençóis.

T he inn is provideds 44 comfortable apartments (8 suites), all furnished with air conditioned, tv, telephone, and mini-bar. The common areas include a restaurant with a view of the river, game room, bar, and private parking.

C anto das Águas' architecture is integrated in the imperial style of the rows of houses in the city of Lençóis. Besides, the decor favours the ceramics and wood crafts by the local artisans, for providing a cosy and charming atmosphere.
