Combine a five-star luxury hotel with the friendliness of a backpacker hostel and you get the Windtown Resort & Spa in Cumbuco.

It’s bottoms up as you go down the rock slide at one of my hidden gems in Lencois, Brazil

A night at this hidden gem in Brazil’s Chapada Diamantina might seem a bit random but come the morning all will be revealed.

Happy hour at El Jamiro restaurant and bar is definitely that as service comes with a smile at this hidden gem. Oh, and the food here is pretty good too.
