Leonardo is the founder of Calango Trekking and our partner in Vale do Capão, a reference in expeditions and community-based tourism in Chapada Diamantina
Since 2013, Leonardo has been leading expeditions and treks that combine challenge, connection with nature, and cultural immersion. With extensive experience and deep knowledge of the region, he offers itineraries that captivate through both breathtaking landscapes and the authenticity of each encounter.
In addition to being an experienced guide, Leonardo is an active member of the Vale do Capão Volunteer Fire Brigade, working in wildfire prevention and firefighting. His commitment to environmental preservation and care for the territory is reflected in every detail of his operations.
The experiences he offers are guided by the principles of community-based tourism, allowing travellers to engage with locals, participate in community activities, and experience the traditions and stories that shape the culture of Capão.
With a focus on sustainability, each itinerary is designed to create positive impact on both the environment and the local economy, while respecting the pace and lifestyle of the community.
Together with Discover Brasil, Leonardo offers more than trails—he delivers journeys that awaken, transform, and bring travellers closer to the most genuine side of Brazil.
Experience Chapada with someone who protects, knows, and shares this land with passion and responsibility.
