Diamonds were there goal and diamonds they found. Precious little spots on this earth that has amazing sights.
Some 450 km west of Salvador in the center of the state of Bahia is a beautiful colonial town called Lençois,
which is the gateway to the National Park Chapada Diamantina (Diamond Highlands). This ancient diamond trader’s
center in the middle of the Sertão served as base camp to explore the gems of the region.
