About the Area (Central Bahia, Brazil)

I am Brazilian living in Sao Paulo I hope that this can help people coming from abroad:

Bahia is a state in the northeastern part of Brazil. Salvador, Bahia´s capital, is on the coast, some 1700 km from Sao Paulo by road. Lençois is the name of the nearest city from the Gathering and it is placed in the central part of the State of Bahia. Around Lençois, there is Chapada Diamantina, one of the most beautiful natural spots in Brazil. The nearest comercial airport is in Salvador and I a once took a bus from Lençois to Salvador in less than a night. You can also get a bus from Sao Paulo or Rio to Salvador, but it will probably take 30 hours.
