"thanks for asking and thanks for those 5 incredible days. The trip to Chapada Diamantina was absolutely marvelous. Every transfer, pickup and each tour worked out extremely well and could not be organized in a better way. Our driver to Salvador bus station was incredible helpful and managed everything to get our bus tickets. The travel agency in Lencois was perfect – 5 stars. And the Chapada Diamantina itself – I don´t want loose too much words but I will definitely go back to this place some day. I will come back to you, when I will return to south america. Maybe there is another great adventure, which you can offer." Andreas. "Thank you, we had a great time. Organised very well and accommodation was perfect." Damien. |
