From Salvador we went on a bus to a small town called Lencois. Lencois is a town in Chipada Diamantina. Chipada Diamantina is a place where diamonds were mined. We arrived in Lencois on the night of December 29th. We met someone named Andres and went to his house. He was renting his house so we rented it. The next morning Bella made two new friends named Michelle and Grace Kelly.

We went on a tour by a guide named Roy Funch, a Chipada Diamantina guide. He used to live in New York, but moved to Brazil. Roy took us to some swimming holes, sand caves, rivers, and waterfalls.

We also went on a few hikes without guides. We went to a natural waterslide made from smooth rocks. On New Year’s Eve we stayed up until midnight.

This looks like so much fun! Reminds me of my childhood growing up in Cali, Colombia and sliding down a hill on cardboard with my best friend.
