Being there is the
only way to realise the meaning of
so much beauty and understand the
countless compliments made by visitors.
Visiting the Chapada Diamantina, in
the heart of Bahia, is an adventure
that will lift anyone’s spirits
and provide an unforgettable experience.
 Nature
has been generous, blessing the region’s
characteristic landscape with a myriad
of attractions, all fascinating. Waterfalls
of all kinds, caverns with different
features, lakes of the bluest water,
uniquely shaped mountains, trails
surrounded by beautiful sights: in
each place, a new enchantment.
For those that enjoy adventure, Chapada
Diamantina is unmissable. Trekking,
abseiling, diving, caving and canyoning
bring excitement to every excursion.
Afterwards, there’s a chance
to relax in the crystal-clear waters
of the many rivers and waterfalls.
But it’s not just the nature
that’s outstanding. Lençóis,
the main town in the region, enchants
every visitor with its fine colonial
buildings, cobbled streets and friendly
residents. A historical town, Lençóis’
heyday was during the diamond rush,
when it became the third most important
town in the state of Bahia. Nowadays
tourism is the main industry, Lençóis
having a modern airport, 5-, 4-
and 3-star hotels and excellent
cuisine. Mucugê, with its
Bizantine Cemetery; Andaraí,
with its “City of Stone”;
Xique-Xique de Igatu, with ruins
from the mining days; Palmeiras,
with the mountain of Pai Inácio;
and Iraquara, with its caves, are
just a small sample of what’s
in store.
In this scenery of unusual beauty,
you’ll find the services of
Luck Adventure, which has the best
facilities in the Chapada Diamantina,
based in the towns of Mucugê
and Lençóis, including
the latest vehicles and specialist
guides.
