Brazil is famous for its beautiful coast and for having the wonderful Amazon Forest. But it is much more than that: the singularities of each region, the different landscapes, and incredibly different range of destinations to visit, they all make it a complex destination, with too many different options.
I am Brazilian and I still need to visit so many places there. But there is one special place that many visitors don’t hear about and I need to tell you: if you love being in the nature, trekking or hiking, bathing in a waterfall, experiencing local fruits and food, don’t miss out on Chapada Diamantina!
It is a large mountain region in the center of Bahia State, a couple of hours distant from Salvador Airport. You can get there by bus or rent a car and drive about 6 hours to Lençóis, the most touristic city there, which has more structure of hotels and restaurants.
I went to Chapada in April 2022 to spend a few weeks, working online and enjoying the free days. And I had been there before also, in 2017.
