Palmeiras
8.1
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Palmeiras is a small municipality in the Chapada Diamantina that serves as the main access town for the Vale do Capão, one of the most popular trekking zones in the Chapada including access to the Cachoeira do Fumaça waterfall, which at 340 meters is one of the highest in Brazil. The trekking economy has created a genuine counter-culture/eco-traveler scene in the Vale do Capão valley that attracts Brazilian and international alternative travelers. A foreign man here is completely normalized by the traveler community.
Mid score (6-8)
Palmeiras/Vale do Capão has a genuine eco-traveler scene but it's alternative and specific in character — the social energy runs on trekking, yoga, and ecological consciousness rather than conventional nightlife. Great if that's your scene, limiting if it isn't.
Lower score (below 6)
Palmeiras outside trekking season is a very small town with limited social infrastructure. The counter-culture traveler scene doesn't create conventional nightlife and can feel insular if you're not part of the trekking community.
