When I received the invitation from<\/span> Secretary of Tourism of Aracaju<\/strong> to get to know the city and I saw that the <\/span>Xing\u00f3 Canyon<\/strong> was on the script, I could only be VERY happy for the opportunity to get to know the <\/span>Old Chico<\/strong> and the 5th largest navigable canyon in the world!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Rede Globo's soap opera, Velho Chico, went on the air, I confess that I knew little about the S\u00e3o Francisco River, only that it is one of the most important waterways in Brazil and South America, passes through 5 states and makes the border between Sergipe and Alagoas. Oh and it is precisely on the Sergipe side that you can take the tour to the Xing\u00f3 Canyon!!<\/p>\n

Xing\u00f3 Canyon: Surprise yourself beyond the soap opera Velho Chico<\/h2>\n

The Xing\u00f3 Canyon, despite having the intervention of man, is an incredible and beautiful tour, the scenery we saw today was due to the flooding of the region for the construction of the Xing\u00f3 Hydroelectric Power Plant<\/strong> which supplies energy to more than 25% of the population of the northeast and since then has transformed the scenario that was previously completely arid and dry into a green area with agricultural production in the middle of the hinterland!<\/p>\n

As we were staying in Aracaju, we did a day trip to the municipality of Canind\u00e9 de S\u00e3o Francisco, which is where the tours depart from, and is 200 km from Aracaju. The journey took around 3 hours. We left the hotel very early, around 6 am, with the company TOP TUR<\/strong> who made our transfer<\/em> and I highly recommend, because the vans<\/em> they are great and comfortable.<\/p>\n

For those who have more time to enjoy these tours, I recommend staying in the region and, in addition to the Xing\u00f3 Canyon, also take the canga\u00e7o route,\u00a0<\/strong>meet the hydroelectric plant<\/strong> it's the Xing\u00f3 Archeology Museum<\/strong>?? One of the hotels I met (I didn't stay)<\/span> and I found a very interesting option is the Xing\u00f3 Parque Hotel<\/strong> which is in the city of Canind\u00e9 and very close to tourist attractions.<\/p>\n

As our time was more rushed, we ended up doing only the Xing\u00f3 Canyon and stopped at the Hydroelectric Power Plant to take pictures.<\/p>\n

As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the staff. MF-Tur,<\/strong> company responsible for the catamaran tour and also for the luxury tours (boat, yacht and helicopter)<\/span> I'll tell you in a next one post.<\/em> We started the tour on the catamaran, which supports up to 250 people and has a great infrastructure with bathrooms, shower and bar. The Catamaran leaves every day at 10:30 am and 11:30 am<\/strong> and costs R$90 reais<\/em> <\/strong>per person. In case you also need a transfer<\/em> from Aracaju, to TOP TUR<\/strong> takes you by R$ 170 reais<\/strong> (transport + catamaran).<\/span><\/p>\n

The tour takes 3 hours and passes through the S\u00e3o Francisco River, through the canyons and to 1 hour for diving in Brogod\u00f3<\/strong> which is a deck<\/em> exclusive floating for MF-Tur catamarans that support up to 700 people at a time and has a structure with two swimming pools and a tour to the Talhado Cave<\/strong> that takes you in a rowing boat very close to the canyons so you can see the richness of details of the stones (costs R$ 10.00).<\/span><\/p>\n

During the tour many explanations about Velho Chico, the Canyons and lively music between one explanation and another.<\/p>\n
