We think it is worth extending your stay in the Chapada Diamantina area to stay in this pousada. A very beautiful and relaxing stay connected to nature. We recommend the domes instead of the rooms for a much more private experience.
Vale do Capao is a quite remote area in Chapada Diamantina and it can only be reached through dirt tracks from Lencois.
The town itself is very charming and there is plenty of restaurants and bars, however, the pousada is set about 8 minutes drive from the village. We do recommend staying here if you have a rental car.
We recently stayed at Pousada do Capao and absolutely loved it! It is set in a 100K sqm and the rooms have big windows with wonderful views and a balcony. They are very spacious but basic, however, you come here to disconnect and reconnect with nature.
The grounds are wonderful. There is a river forming a natural pool where you can swim and bathe, There is also a suspended garden where you can practice meditation and yoga, and 3 km of walking trails.
The breakfast is home made, so plentiful and delicious with sweet and savoury offerings. It was the best breakfast on our Bahia trip, and the staff cannot be more friendly and helpful.
You can also have lunch and dinner at the restaurant and there is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors in the garden.
The property also has 3 accommodation domes and we spent one of the nights here. If your budget allows, we recommend this option instead of the rooms, much more private and of a higher standard.
They also have apartments perfect for families.
Overall, we think that getting here is definitely worth it!
