The reward of a long and hard drive

One and a half day of driving and we finally arrived at one of the most beautiful places in the country. Chapada Diamantina, in the state of Bahia, is a famous destination for those who like to enjoy nature in its most pure form.

The mountains are gorgeous and the little villages are very colorful in simple colonial style. Beside the arid surroundings, the area of the mountain range of Chapada Diamantina is an oasis of rivers, waterfalls and wildlife of all sorts.
