Caiuá

Caiuá accommodated a dietary restriction and our skill level very well.

We had an unforgettable time adventuring with Caiua! He planned every hike to perfection, from jaw-dropping views to hidden waterfalls and dreamy trails, every step felt like a scene from a nature documentary (but with better snacks). Lunches? Delicious. Overnight stays? Cozy and full of local charm, amazing food, lovely people, and just the right amount of rustic magic. Caiua knows the nature reserve like the back of his hand and shared stories, facts, and secret spots that made everything come alive. Honestly, this wasn’t just a hike, it was an experience. Hands down, one of the absolute highlights of our Brazil trip. 10/10 would hike again!

Caiua was an excellent guide who looked after us very well. His detailed knowledge of the Chapada Diamantina including its history, people, flora and fauna made our treks enjoyable and educational. He was especially helpful when Yvona injured her ankle - he was able to apply a local herbal remedy to the injury that accerlerated her recovery. I would recommend Caiua to any English-speaking visitor to the Chapada.

Super guide! Il parle français, anglais et portugais, il est originaire de la région et connaît très bien la Chapada! Il nous a fait découvrir de merveilleux endroits! Ouvert, amical, et accessible assez tôt dans l’organisation du trek. Il nous a partagé sa connaissance de la vallée et du Brésil en général ! Nous le recommandons les yeux fermés. Best guide ! Caiua speak French, English and Portuguese, he is native from the valley and has a good knowledge of the Chapada ! He made us discover wonderful places ! Open, friendly and helpful even before the trek. He shared with us his knowledge of the valley and even of Brazil ! We recommend Caiua.
