Two days from Lençóis in Chapada Diamantina, with caves, crystal pools, Blue Grotto at Pratinha, and sunset views plus a walking day around town.
“We thoroughly enjoyed this two day tour. The first day used a mini bus to take us to four locations: a natural pool, some impressive caves (where we enjoyed a local lunch); a tourist centre aound a lake for swimming and lastly the most stunning views of the valley at sunset from the top of Morro do Pai Inácio. The second day consisted of a walk around the trails close to Lencois. The first day includes many hours of driving, about 140km, so was pretty tiring. However, the area is very large, so it is necessary! We enjoyed most of the tour, the caves are very special and the views…”

“Our experience was not good. On the day of the walk they did not arrive at the scheduled time, the time passed and I asked the inn to contact them, it was not easy, when they achieved it they told us they were coming on the track because there was an inconvenience. We were picked up after 15 minutes of the start time of the ride, we were taken at full speed to a meeting place where a group was waiting that was clearly behind us. The feeling was not good We were sat apart because it was what was late. It was until the end of the ride that…”

“We had the most amazing 3 day Vale de Pati trek with the best guide, Daniel! From start to finish, the communication was awesome, the food was delicious, and most importantly, Daniel created such an impeccable and fun vibe for our group. There were only four of us, which was great compared to some of the other large groups with other companies we saw on the trail. The landscape is stunning, and each day has new environments and scenery. It is challenging enough to feel fulfilling but not so hard that you aren’t having fun. This is truly one of my favorite treks I’ve ever done, and apart from the…”
