Chapada Diamantina is one of the most striking National Parks in the country. Ideal if you enjoy the outdoors, it is also historically relevant and its well-preserved towns tell many stories, from a “ghost town” to a quaint colonial town. The unique topographical setting hides waterfalls, canyons, underground cave, lagoons and picture perfect views like nowhere else in the country.
We´ve ventured through the Chapada time and time again, walked along the paths we suggest, swum in the lagoons, revitalized under the same falls and gasped at the idyllic views. A great deal of the time you´ll be on foot, in the fresh air, but when you’re not, cross the landscapes in 4x4s or helicopters and rest assured our invaluable host and a local guide will deal with the logistics. Using two different strategic towns to explore from having by the end of your stay, explored a large portion of the …..m2 park in great style and off the beaten tracks.
Unlike many other outdoor destinations, there are charming hotel options in the region. We´ve stayed at all the hotels we recommend and selected those we consider offer the best blend of prime location and comfort, and when the trade off is between a more rustic option and good access to more remote but exquisite settings – we believe its worth it.
