Here you can find lots of information, photos and tips relating to Chapada Diamantina, a magical place in the state of Bahia in Brazil. I was there many times between 1998 and 2001, and this place taught me that there are many ways of life by which intelligent people can live in peace without hurting nature. This beautiful place awoke my interest in photography and changed my worldview forever. When I first went there, the Internet had almost no information about Chapada Diamantina, so in 1998 I made a home page describing my adventure and providing other information related to this place.


After that I visited almost all the states in Brazil and 21 other countries. Many of these photos you can see on Flickr.  I am from Brazil but today live in Germany with my German wife and three daughters. I have spent my free time in the last years working on my science-fiction book titled AstroTown.


Over the last fifteen years, my home page about Chapada Diamantina has received more and more visitors, from around the world. There are now hundreds of visitors per day, despite the fact that the site was offline for a few years. I hope you visit Chapada Diamantina. One day I will return there too.
