My suggestion
If, like me, you prefer the natural outdoors to noisy, polluted towns and cities, treat yourself to a stay of at least five days in the Chapada Diamantina region.

A village situated in central Bahia, and a quieter entry point than neighboring Lençois, if you're planning to explore the Chapada de Diamantina.
My suggestion
If you can afford it, go paragliding over the area; the view is breathtaking.
In the middle of the vast tropical, dense forest, the legendary river meanders. A river larger than any other, a source of life that travels from the Peruvian Andes to empty into the ocean at the other end of the continent. And what about you, why not take the time to navigate the Amazon River and discover its beauties and mysteries?

Between Itacaré in the north and Canavieras in the south of the State of Bahia, the Cocoa Route is becoming one of the must-see locations for those travelling to Brazil. On the 180km that separate the two cities, visitors will discover large farms where the manufacture of chocolate chips is at the heart of the activity, mangroves and a primary forest, "Mata Atlantica".
Second city in the North of Brazil with over 1.4 million inhabitants, Belem de Para is an industrial port situated on the Amazon river 100km from the Atlantic Ocean. First town colonised on the Amazon, the town is full of traces of its colonial past.
