We continue to the offshore reef of Boipeba – Morere also known as the Polynesia of Brazil. We will have lunch in an excellent, typical Bahian restaurant with open air kitchen.

We will go on to the island of Pedra Furado, a natural phenomenon which left the stones of the entire island hollowed out. We travel deeper into the bay where we maneuver through the mangrove swamps, passing fisherman on their traditional dugout canoe’s, before we reach the island of Sampinho.

Day 09: Traveling to the Chapada Diamantina national park
By speedboat we are heading back to the mainland from where we will continue into the interior of the Bahia state. After driving for about 6 hours we will reach the boarder between the Atlantic rainforest and the dry „Sertão“ - the brazilian scrub landscape. After a filling lunch we continue our journey through this bizarre landscape until we reach Lençóis, the colonial town in the heart of the Bahia state.
Lençóis is listed as a protected, historical site which has a population of only about 6000 inhabitants. In the evening you stroll cozy through the romantic alleyways, encountering lots of bars and street coffees. Next we will enjoy an extensive dinner.

 

 

Day 10: Half day excursion following the diamond trails
Starting from Lençóis on foot we will encounter the diamond trails along the Serranio. Following the river upstream we will soon find the first beautiful natural pools with a great view back to Lençóis. The „Salão de Areia“ is our next stop, a unique, colorful sandstone labyrinth. Heading further upstream we will find another, bigger natural pool offering a great moment to dip into the water. The locals named this area after the comet „Halley“. Now we are leaving the trail and continue our way in the riverbed, balancing and hopping from stone to stone. Soon we will another steep trail which will lead us to the spring waterfall – the „cachoeira da primavera“. An ideal place to receive a refreshing and relaxing natural massage. We continue a bit further uphill before we reach a majestic viewpoint high above the valley and the town of Lençóis.

 

 

Day 11: Caves, waterfall and table mountains
By car, we go from Lençóis to the river Mucugezinho and after a 20-minute walk, we reach the natural pool "Poco do Diabo" (devil's hole) with its marvelous waterfall. If you feel like a little adventure, you can be transported directly from the waterfall and into the devil's hole by zip-line! Rappelling is also possible or you just take it easy and go for a swim and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. After a short climb back up we cross the Serra do Sincora by car. Once on the other side of the mountains, the landscape changes noticeably. There is a dry lot where many cacti can be seen. Our next stop is "Gruta da Lapa Doce", the second largest limestone cave in Brazil with impressive limestone formations (Stalactites and stalagmites). The cave extends 42km across.  We will cross 900m in the cave; and, upon exiting, we will find a typical regional restaurant with a buffet.  There, we can eat chopped cactus (palma) or green bananas with pieces of meat (de Godó banana) as well as other specialties. After lunch, we continue by car to the nearby "Gruta da Pratinha".  Right next to the Gruta Azul (a 180m deep cave lake with deep blue water) 
Finally, we drive to Pai Inácio, a table mountain which is the symbol of the Chapada Diamantina. After a 15-20 minute steep climb, we enjoy the great view of the plateau and wait for the spectacular sunset. After we descend, we go back to Lençóis.

 

 

Day 12: Canoe, Waterfall & Swimming

This delightful tour begins with a 45-minute ride on a dirt road to the small village of Remanso, a former Quilombo founded by escaped slaves, where their descendants still live. From there starts an idyllic 1.5 hour canoe trip through the Marimbus-marsh (mini Pantanal), framed by the Serra do Sincora mountains. The wetlands region was formed by the convergence of two rivers (Rio Santo Antônio and Rio Utinga) and, it is particularly fascinating because of the varied flora and fauna. On the way, you can occasionally see birds and Capuchin monkeys.  On rare occasions, you may catch a glimpse of capybaras and caimans. You will then take a 20-minute walk to an old country house, where lunch is served. Following the trail to the Roncador river, you will encounter great natural "jacuzzi" with several small waterfalls and slides. Here you can splash around and enjoy the panoramic view of the Chapada. We will then return to Remanso by canoe and drive back to Lençóis
