From what I understand the bus from Salvador to Lençois is not part of the tour, am I right? I still don't have airplane ticket and am considering other destinations since Chapada is a hard place to reach.

The bus from Salvador to Lençois and back to Salvador is included, but we need to pay attention to times in order to coordinate that correctly. It is indeed hard to reach but completely worth it!

what time I need to arrive to Salvador airport day one 2-what time I will arrive back to Salvador airport the final day 3-if they have vegetarian meal options and 4-what the accommodations are during the stay

In order to connect with the public bus to Lençois, we recommend a night, pre and after, in Salvador de Bahia. The bus takes around 6 hours. The restaurants in Lençois have several vegetarian and vegan options. I am a vegetarian and the offer there is very good indeed. In Lençois we recommend you stay at the Vila Serrano Hotel.

We had an amazing time once we got there- but we were really unprepared for the journey to get to the Pantanal. We were greeted at the airport by our driver who informed us that we had a 4.5 hour ride then we were transferred to a truck to take us another 45 minutes on a bumpy dirt road and then a 45 minute boat ride in the pitch black. Had we been ready for that- no problem- but we were given no warning and we were not dressed for it. We also would have booked flights accordingly so we would have to arrive at midnight. We actually changed our return flights because we didn’t want to go through the river again in the dark. Once we arrived we had the best time and saw amazing wildlife and farm animals. We were well looked after and had delicious home cooked meals and an excellent tour guide.Show more

  Can you give me a possible starting dates/times of departure and arrival do Salvador? Then I will try to find a flight that fits in these dates.
- Class Adventure TravelOperator•Written June 2023
  On the 9th of OCT, there are 2 persons doing the Caves in Lençois and, on the 10th, the Fumaça Waterfall. Are you willing to accommodate your travel dates to join them? Bear in mind that is not a big group; nevertheless, the adventure is amazing and unforgettable.
