Description Pricing Itinerary Hotels

In the 17th century in Brazil, when there was the gold and diamond rush many people came to Bahia in search of treasures. Some did find gold or diamonds, but the greatest fortune of Chapada cannot be measured in carats – it’s the immense natural beauty, which has been protected by law since 1985, with the establishment of Chapada Diamantina National Park.

Chapada Diamantina National Park is one of the most amazing parks located in the center of Bahia, at northeast of Brazil. Chapada Diamantina is a paradice for eco adventurers: trekking, rappelling, diving and other activities can be practiced in this National Park. There is also the chance to relax in clear water natural pools, rivers and waterfalls.
