After my big Saturday cycle to Seabra, it was another hilly one on Sunday to Lencois, but then I took two days off to enjoy the Chapada Diamantina National Park. Here’s lots of photos…
The odd little town of Seabra
Arrived downhill in darkness, departed uphill in daylight
Always good to see one of these signs
Landscape getting prettier
Cycling through chapada ain’t too bad
1 day tour: first stop = waterfall
Lovely place for a swim
See that kinda rectangular bump…
…now we’re on top of it!
Unorthodox photography
Cacti is the Latin plural of cactus, and some writers use it in English. Cactuses is the English plural. Dictionaries list both, and neither is right or wrong. Ok?!
The tour group
After lunch, time for another dip
Lots of little fish in this lake
Gruta Azul = Blue Cave
Cave entrance
Another, much bigger, cave entrance
Caving selfie
Local transport
Colonial Lencois
View from the bridge into town: upstream
And downstream
More Lencois
HI Hostel’s back yard
Bike envy? No, I’d take my Thorn Raven any day!
Farewell lovely hostel, back to the BR-242 we go
Since then it’s been two more 70km cycling days heading east along the highway, and I’m now in the decent town of Itaberaba where I just had my first Bahian street food, got no idea what it was but hoping my stomach can handle it!
