Lençóis is a small city in Bahia, Brazil. The city is very charming with cobblestone streets and many wonderful hole in the wall restaurants.

Lençóis serves as a "base camp" of sorts for tourists from all over the world setting out to explore the Chapada Diamantina National Park[1]

[edit] Get in

Take a bus from the Salvador, Bahia bus station. It is across the highway from the Iguatemi shopping center. The ride is in a comfortable bus overnight. It takes around 6 hours so you arrive early in the morning.

[edit] Get around

Since Lençóis is a small, you can walk anywhere around town. To get out of town to see the sights in the Chapada Diamantina, book a tour and they provide transportation.

The roads outside Lençóis are full of pot holes. Be prepared for a bumpy ride when you leave the town to go on tours.

There are tour agencies all over Lençóis. You can book tours at the tour agencies themselves or through your hotel/hostel. They can take you by car to many of the locations listed in the "see" section. Short hikes are involved in actually getting to the sites.

• Rock Climbing

You can get a guide to take you rock climbing through the tour agencies. They provide all the equipment and a personal english speaking guide.

• Hiking

There are many trails and places you can go on your own or you can go with a group tour. If you go on your own, ask at your hotel/hostel where you should go.

• Camping

Some hostels, like Pousada dos Duendes will arrange group camping trips. You can go on several day hikes and the guides will provide all the food and camping gear. If you have the time, it could be a lot of fun.

• Rappelling

Book through a tour agency. Make sure you check where they are going and how far the descent is. Some days they have smaller places to rappel that aren't worth the price.
