A unique bike holiday to one of the most fascinating National Parks of Brazil - Chapada Diamantina. Valleys of lush green dotted with bright tropical flowers surround a mountain range of twisted red rock formations. What was once a refuge of precious stone hunters who came in search of diamonds, it is now a rare jewel of a mountain bike holiday destination.

Following flights from the UK, we arrive at the capital of the state of Bahia, Salvador. The city lies between green old colonial hills and broad beaches along the bay of Todos os Santos and served as the capital of colonial Brazil for almost two centuries.

More than anywhere else in the country, the African influence in the makeup of Brazilian culture is readily visible here. Our holiday starts in earnest once we arrive at the main village in the Chapada, Lençóis. Bisected by a stepped waterfall Lençóis is simply lovely, with a lively centre and it is from here this mountain bike holiday begins.

Everything in the Chapada is wonderful, but the waterfalls deserve special attention. The most famous - Cachoeira da Fumaça Brazil's highest is amongst the holiday highlights.

Our mountain biking sees us visit all the major sights of the area and with some waterfalls, caverns and grottos only accessible on foot, we’ll be cycling to the trail heads and then taking some short hikes to make the most of these spectacular sights. Combine this with stays in wonderful hotels and the flair of Salvador and you’ve got a fantastic Brazilian holiday.
