- Looking over the Chapada Diamantina National Park from the top of Morro do Pai Inacio.

Chapada Diamantina, or the Diamond Highlands, is a national park located west of Salvador in the state of Bahia, Brazil. It's a region of scrublands with high plateaus, shear cliffs, small rivers, and underground cave networks. Throughout the park there are many beautiful waterfalls, pristine underground pools, and a wide variety of plant and animal life. I was able to carve out two and a half days to spend exploring this unique region and I came away with a fun experience and an array of images that portay yet another of Brazil's diverse landscapes
