Marimbus, Wetland ecosystem in Chapada Diamantina, Brazil

The Marimbus wetlands span 1250 square kilometers, featuring interconnected lakes filled with water lilies, papyrus, and diverse aquatic vegetation.

The Remanso quilombo community, established in 1942 by Manoel da Silva and his family, found refuge near Marimbus after escaping from regional plantations.

The Remanso inhabitants maintain fishing traditions and agricultural practices that have sustained their community through generations in this remote location.

Visitors access Marimbus through guided boat tours departing from Remanso village, with journeys lasting approximately 90 minutes through narrow waterways.

Three rivers converge in Marimbus to create specialized habitats for numerous fish species and water birds that populate the flooded landscape.
