Unforgettable Trekking in the Pati Valley: Adventure in Chapada Diamantina

I lived something words can’t explain

The Pati Valley moved me from start to finish. Every climb, every tired step, every view felt like something truly special. The simplicity of the homes, the kindness of the guides — everything touched me. I carry this place in my heart. Truly unforgettable.

I love Chapada Diamantina, have been there twice.

I went in 2017 with friends and came back in 2023 with my girlfriend to propose to her—it was really special. We explored the caves, waterfalls, and she absolutely loved Chapada Diamantina. I was so happy to see her reaction to this unique part of Bahia that many people miss out on because they only think about the beaches. We’ll be back many times.
