Walk on the wild side
Take a comfortable bus journey 400km into the heart of Bahia to discover the spectacular Chapada Diamantina National Park, a wonderful destination for hiking. Lençois is a charming colonial-style town, founded on diamond mining, gateway to the park and base for a wide range of trekking and outdoor adventure activities.
Chapada Diamantina is a protected paradise of endemic plants, birds and wildlife. Its natural landscape of caverns and canyons, marbled riverbeds and majestic waterfalls, are part of the Brazilian ‘shield’ – an ancient remnant of our planet’s single land mass! Lençois is a delightful little town, with some excellent local pousadas and restaurants. Take a day’s hike into the National Park or join a 5-day trekking expedition to explore the sertão wilderness, rich in flora and fauna, and the extraordinary landscape of caves, high plateaus and waterfalls that characterize Brasil’s chapadas.
