Chapada Diamantina

About 7 hours by bus inland from Salvador is Lençois. This cosy small city is one of the entrance gates to the huge National Park Chapada Diamantina. Sadly we didn't have a lot of time here but we did two really good day tours.

Rio Mucugezinho:








Poço do Diabo:




Morro do Pai Inácio:










Gruta da Fumacinha:





This tour included lunch in a small farmhouse. They made a buffet with lots of different and exotic vegetables like cooked cactus. We also bought some little nuts there that looked a bit like peanuts but were white inside and tasted like coconut.



Gruta Azul:



Gruta da Pratinha:


The second day we did a longer walk to the Cachueira Fumaça (translated steam waterfall). The water falls down 380 m and therefore turns into steam before it reaches the bottom. To see the waterfall we had to lay down on the edge of the cliff and look right down.
