About Chapada Diamantina National Park

  • Close Panel 

A few hours west of Salvador the lush, green Chapada Diamantina National Park (or Diamond Highlands) contrasts sharply with the parched sertaão landscape in the interior. Within this 590 square mile protected area waterfalls cascade over plateaus into grassy valleys with numerous rivers and natural swimming holes.

This region is best explored on foot, hiking along the network of trails throughout the park. Day trips can be arranged from the 19th Century diamond mining town of Lencois, or camping trips from 2 to 8 days.

  • All arrangements made by Tribes were excellent and any problems were at a local level

  • Level would have been 'excellent' if it had not been for the less than satisifactory elements mentioned below.

  • Complicated itinerary but all transfers went according to plan including meeting up with our son for the last week. A memorable holiday.

  • The three locations we had chosen were all brilliant. Travel between them turned out to be completely stress-free.

  • Everything ran very smoothly from visiting the locations, hotels, to the pick ups and the guides.
