Trekking Chapada Diamantina, Brazil’s Secret Paradise

Dates: Sunday Aug 2nd - Saturday Aug 15th 2026 Your Brazilian adventure begins in Salvador, the vibrant coastal city of Afro-Brazilian culture, golden beaches, and colourful colonial streets. From here, a comfortable overnight bus carries you inland to Lençóis once a bustling diamond-mining town and today a charming base at the edge of Chapada Diamantina National Park. After a refreshing swim in natural pools, the afternoon is spent wandering Lençóis’ rustic cobbled streets, soaking in its historic and welcoming atmosphere. The journey continues with a hike to the 390-metre Fumaça Waterfall, the highest in Brazil. Here, the water drifts into the vast valley below a dramatic preview of the landscapes to come. From Lençóis, a transfer takes you to Guiné, where your multi-day trek begins. Over five days in the Vale do Pati, often described as Brazil’s secret paradise, you’ll encounter breathtaking scenery at every turn: lush green forests, vast valleys surrounded by dramatic cliffs, mesmerising waterfalls, and a kaleidoscope of exotic flora and fauna. You’ll descend into Pati Valley, passing waterfalls into its hidden heart. You’ll climb Morro do Castelo (Lapinha Mountain) to reach the impressive Castle Cave, follow rivers and trails to a series of enchanting waterfalls, and trek to the top of Cachoeirão Canyon, where panoramic views stretch across endless plateaus, before returning to Guiné. Evenings are spent in family home stays sharing hearty Bahian meals and stories under the stars. By the end of the trek, you’ll have immersed yourself in one of Brazil’s most spectacular wildernesses a land of mountains, canyons, rivers, and waterfalls that will leave you with long lasting memories.
