Chapada Diamantina 2026
Brasil

Chapada Diamantina

Chapada Diamantina and Vale do Pati on the very same journey: awe-inspiring waterfalls, a three-day trek, and nights spent staying with local families.

The Expedition lasts 7 days and 6 nights

The Expedition lasts 7 days and 6 nights

Meeting point: Salvador (BA)

Recommended airport: Aeroporto de Salvador (SSA)

Difficulty level: Intense

Every stop on this itinerary was chosen because it genuinely moved us, from crystal-clear pools to waterfalls you can hear long before you see them.

And then there is Vale do Pati, the heart of Chapada. It is three days of trekking, welcomed by local families, with viewpoints that look like another planet and late-afternoon chats on the porch.

The best part is that you do not have to choose between experiencing Chapada or discovering Pati. Here, you get to do both.

Chapada Diamantina and Vale do Pati on the same journey. No need to choose.

What our days will look like

Day 1

Arrival and the first sunset in Chapada

We depart early from Salvador and head down the road to Lençóis, a charming town of colonial architecture and cobblestone streets that warmly greets every visitor.

There is time to drop your bags off at the lodge and rest. In the late afternoon, we take a short hike up to Morro do Pai Inácio, the postcard of Chapada, which is even more impressive in person than in photos.

The entire group gathers there to watch the sun sink over the valleys. It is a wonderful way to start the week.

The best experience in Alter do Chão!

Without a doubt, it was the best experience I have ever had! The expedition was simply incredible from beginning to end. Impeccable organisation and an extremely attentive team who know the region deeply and respect the local nature. Every detail was thought through with great care: breathtaking landscapes, wonderful freshwater beaches, trails, cultural immersion and that feeling of living something unique. Beyond all the beauty, I felt safe the whole time and very well welcomed. You can tell when work is done with love and responsibility. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who wants to experience the real Alter do Chão, far beyond basic tourism. An unforgettable experience!

The most incredible carnival experience in the world

It was my first solo trip and I could write a whole book about how wonderful this experience was. Ana Carms has an approach to travel that is very different from the conventional one, a proposal of real immersion in the local culture and way of life, always respectfully. In 2026, being without internet for 5 days may sound bizarre and frightening, but in the end you come back grateful and wanting to stay longer. There is a clear reason for that disconnection, and the result for me were the great friends I made on this trip, which certainly would not have happened if we had our phones. The care the women of the agency put into every detail is admirable, and you feel all that affection in the details of everything you live there. Trust them and just go! A special thank you to Seu Sabá's family, who make everything even more magical with their care, from the delicious food to Bob the dog, who welcomes you with licks when you arrive on the little boat. Thank you for everything, ANA CARMS team, I already want to collect every expedition you offer.
