We are a collective of local guides committed to sustainable tourism in the Chapada Diamantina, following minimum-impact principles in everything we do.

Our pillars

  • Valuing local guides — fair pay for those who are the backbone of tourism in the region.
  • Authentic experiences — deep regional knowledge and responsible practices to preserve the natural beauty.
  • Community involvement — your choices directly support local businesses, artisans and communities.
  • Environmental education — passionate guides who raise visitors' awareness about protecting the environment.
