Chapada Diamantina
A dramatic landscape of caves, rivers, and waterfalls, Chapada Diamantina is Bahia’s hidden treasure. Once a diamond mining region, today it's a haven for trekkers, nature lovers, and those who want to dive into Brazil’s raw, untouched beauty. Highlights include the blue-water caves of Poço Encantado and Poço Azul, the 380-meter Cachoeira da Fumaça (Brazil’s second tallest waterfall), and multi-day hikes through ancient valleys. The town of Lençóis serves as the main gateway, with colonial charm and cozy pousadas.
