Enjoy your first Brazilian meal together at our opening dinner in our hip artsy neighborhood that we’ll call home for two nights.
Get to know the other like-minded travelers as well as the locals at the historic neighborhood corner bar over a Caipirinha (Brazil’s national drink).

Arrive at your hotel just North of Salvador and minutes away from the beach.
Experiment with some distinctly Bahian dishes and street food influenced by both their African and European heritage. Options for all palates are available.

Fly to Lençois on an included flight (~1 hour flight)
Upon arriving you'll check in at our boutique hotel in the city.

You’ll end the day by taking a refreshing dip in the natural pools which overlook this quaint and charming colonial city.
Hit the streets and try out one of the many delicious restaurant options that Lençois offers. Meals here are well served as people are typically active and in need of ample nutrition!
After a good night’s rest, meet everyone for breakfast and wake up with a freshly brewed coffee, fresh fruit and all kinds of other goodies.
Today is a day full of amazing views and natural wonders - we’ll see the principal attractions that the National Park h...
Arrive at Lapa Doce Cave for a one hour walk through the cave - in one side and out the other. This cave is so enormous that you could drive a 18 wheeler right down the middle of it! You won’t feel claustrophobic but if caves aren’t your thing you are welcome to relax...
On the way back, make one last stop for our postcard view of the National Park. A short 15 minute hike gets us to the top of Pai Inacio, a table top mountain where we can take in the enormity of the park and it’s features.
Dinner back in Lençois on Rua das Pedras amongst live music followed by a capoeira demonstration in the city square.
Take an extra hour or two this morning to catch up on sleep and let your body rest from the full day park tour.
