The Chapada Diamantina National Park (Portuguese: Parque Nacional da Chapada Diamantina) is a national park in the Chapada Diamantina region of the State of Bahia, Brazil. The terrain is rugged, and mainly covered by flora of the Caatinga biome.
The park is classed as IUCN protected area category II (national park). It has the objectives of preserving natural ecosystems of great ecological relevance and scenic beauty, enabling scientific research, environmental education, outdoors recreation and eco-tourism
The Best of Brazil .
The region became famous during the 19th century for the Diamond exploration, that lasted until 1990, when the National Park was finally founded, considered today one of the most beautiful National Parks in Brazil.
Pratinha
Gruta da Pratinha near Chapada Diamantina National Park is simply beautiful. The crystal clear waters allow you to see quite a bit of the rock formations, and small fish that inhabit the grotto .
The grotto is northwest of the Chapada Diamantina National Park and belongs a company Fazenda Pratinha that charges the entry fee, they also offer many activitiesas as Caiaque, Underwater Pictures, Fluctuation, Zip Line and others for which you have to pay extra.
Lapa Doce Cave
Over 16 miles of the Lapa Doce system have been mapped, but less than 1 mile is open to tourism. Consisting of large galleries which can be nearly 200 feet wide and 90 feet tall, the cave known as Lapa Doce I is rich in speleothems - formations such as stalactites, stalagmites and columns - sculpted by water circulation, dripping, condensation and other processes into shapes which have been named the Nativity Scene, Angel, Sugarloaf, Dog, and so on.
The path includes a descent of about 230 feet. The cave tour lasts about one hour and a half.
Part of the galleries is roped off for protection of the surfaces; no more than 12 people at a time can take the tour, which moves away from the broad cave entrance towards the back at a leisurely pace.
At one point on the tour, the guide asks the group if it's OK to turn off the lantern so you can experience complete darkness. At our group's request, he did it twice - a memorable experience in the depths of Chapada Diamantina.

EXPLORING THE LONGEST CAVE OF CHAPADA DIAMANTINA NATIONAL PARK IN BRAZIL
One of the most amazing caves in Brazil, Lapa Doce is certainly one of the tours that should be on your route through Chapada Diamantina. Even better if combined with the Fazenda Prathina and the Gruto Azul. Video 147
Along with a nice tour guide, flashlights were provided. Total walking time was about 90 minutes going slow and letting the kids explore. There are some short steep parts but it’s definitely doable for young kids and older folks. The cave itself was large, open, airy and safe. We loved it. After lunch, we ate at the onsite restaurant. It is a nice buffet with lots of seating.

CAVE OF 'MAQUINE', Cordisburgo, MG, Brazil
music by Ramblin Wayn
©trad. 'Wayfarin' Stranger'
Gruta de Maquiné (MG-0243) , also Lapa Nova de Maquiné, is the oldest and one of the most commercially visited caves in Brazil.[1] It is located about 5 km from Cordisburgo and 143 km northwest of Belo Horizonte, in the State of Minas Gerais. The cave has seven huge chambers explored, amounting to 650 linear meters and unevenness of the ground of only 18 meters. Safety measures like lighting, walkways and handrails allow a multitude of visitors to enjoy safely the wonders of the grotto where the whole journey is accompanied by an experienced local guide.
Considered as the cradle of paleontology in the country, the grotto was discovered in 1825 by farmer Joaquim Maria Maquiné, then the landowner. It is world-famous for paleontological importance detected initially by Peter Claussen and the Danish naturalist Peter Wilhelm Lund who scientifically first explored it in 1834, showing the world its natural beauty.[3] Dr. Lund remained inside the cave nearly two years doing his research on the Brazilian paleontology, describing all the chambers, explaining the formation of stalagmites and stalactites and examining human remains and petrifaction of animals from the Quaternary period. Among others, he found fossilized skeletons of birds with an extraordinary curvature of up to three meters and the Nothrotherium maquinense, the smallest and most emblematic of the terrestrial sloths which he found in 1835 when he first explored the cave.

Chapada Diamantina travel video - best hiking destination in Brazil
Chapada Diamantina, which translates into Diamond Highlands, is a national park in northeast of Brazil and is considered one of the best places for hiking in the country. After visiting the area in February 2019, it was clear to me why! The landscape of Chapada Diamantina with its spectacular canyons, high plains, rivers, caves, rock formations and hidden waterfalls is a hiker’s paradise and a true masterpiece of Mother Nature!
