Chapada Diamantina

Chapada Diamantina National Park, created in 1985, is a region of mixed terrain. You will find verdant slopes and red-rock mesas fed by the underground water system, waterfalls and pools contrasting with the nearby drought-ridden semi-arid Sertão. The topography consists of the cake-like layers of sediment once collected on a primeval ocean floor and pushed up to be carved by wind and water into plateaus, canyons and caverns.
