Campos de São João
Campos de São João is a historic hamlet of century-old houses and stone architecture in Palmeiras, Chapada Diamantina, reached from the BR 242 highway.
Campos de São João is a hamlet of century-old houses that keeps a short stretch of the Estrada Real, in the municipality of Palmeiras, Bahia. Access is from the BR 242 highway.
This is where the masters of traditional building are based, the people who raise and maintain the region's stone architecture. Walking through the hamlet is largely a matter of looking at that work up close. The D'Afra sweet shop is a well-known stop for those passing through.
Around the village are the lookouts over Morro do Pai Inácio and Morro do Camelo, and the Vale do Cercado, with open views and river bathing.
Palmeiras is one of the six municipalities that share the Chapada Diamantina National Park, along with Andaraí, Ibicoara, Itaetê, Lençóis and Mucugê. Being in the municipality is not the same as being inside the park: for the sites that do lie within it, there is no entrance fee, there is no mobile phone signal, and ICMBio recommends hiring a visitor guide, because the trails are not signposted.
In the same municipality, the Vivai catalogue lists Morro do Pai Inácio and Conceição dos Gatos.
