"I had the most amazing experience with Chapada Velha. The scenery was gorgeous and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, sharing interesting facts about the geology, flora and fauna along the way. He took a lot of care to show us details that normally goes by, because the landscape is rich with small flowers, insects and interesting rocks. I felt safe and well taken care of, and came back home with unforgettable memories and a new found appreciation for nature. I highly recommend Chapada Velha to anyone looking for a unique and enriching outdoor experience."

Rafael was extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history, and he was able to lead us on some amazing hikes to see stunning waterfalls and rock formations. His passion for the outdoors and the environment was contagious, and he made the trip even more enjoyable with carefull aproach to every living creature and his warm temperament. I would highly recommend Chapada Velha and Rafael as a guide for anyone looking to explore Chapada Diamantina."
