A day of sandstone walls, swimming holes and the most famous sunset in Bahia.
Chapada is a maze of sandstone mesas cut by dark, tannin-rich rivers. We spend the morning on trails around Vale do Capão, stopping to swim in natural pools and to hear stories from the diamond-mining days.
The day ends on top of Pai Inácio Hill: a short, steep climb that opens a 360-degree view over the valleys. A small group means there is room to stay until the light runs out.
