Entre Orejas is turning 30! To celebrate, we’ve created a brand-new trail ride on Brazilian soil: The Diamond Trail Ride. After months of planning “in secret”, we are excited to unveil this spectacular adventure in Chapada Diamantina National Park, one of Brazil’s most breathtaking regions.

For eight days, we will follow in the footsteps of diamond seekers, riding through stunning table mountains, vast valleys with crystal-clear rivers, azure lakes, caves, and majestic waterfalls. Our trusted companions? The Mangalarga Marchador horses – an authentic Brazilian breed known for their energy, comfort, and sheer riding pleasure. (If you’ve ridden with us on the Coconut Trail Ride, you know exactly what we mean – we’ll be riding the same incredible horses!).

Be a pioneer! Our first-ever Diamond Trail Ride will take place from 08 till 15 June, with a second departure from 22 to 29 June. The first ride will be personally guided by Paul & Jacira, and the second by Jacira & Simon or Chalas. With only 10 spots available per ride, this is an exclusive opportunity.

And there’s more! By joining the Diamond Trail Ride, you’ll have a 1 in 10 chance to win a FREE 8-day Coconut Trail Ride! During the ride, we’ll hold a raffle – if your name is drawn, you’ll be riding for free on our incredible Coconut Trail Ride!

Spots are limited, and the trip is live on our website from today.

========

A little bit of History of the National Park Chapada Diamantina:

The National Park was created in 1985 to preserve the scenic beauty of the place. The area was initially inhabited by the Maracás indigenous people. Human occupation dates back to the height of the exploration of deposits and ores, at the beginning of the 18th century, when gold was found near the Rio de Contas Pequeno. The year 1710 marks the beginning of the arrival of bandeirantes = Pioneers and explorers. In 1844, colonization was boosted by the discovery of valuable diamonds in the Mucugê River, causing traders, settlers, Jesuits and foreigners to live in villages. Chapada Diamantina gradually became populated by large farms and quilombola (escaped slaves) communities. Gold exploration lasted for almost a century. With the decline of gold extraction, a new cycle began with the exploration of diamonds that lasted almost 30 years, entering into decline in 1870. The region came to be called Chapada Diamantina in reference to the abundance of the mineral and its formation.

​Still in the 20th century, between 1980 and 1996, the region's economy was revived with the mechanized extraction of diamonds, and this activity was subsequently banned with the creation of the Chapada Diamantina National Park.

Encountering the Majestic Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi

Trekking through the lush, misty Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to track the magnificent mountain gorillas is truly the experience of a lifetime. This adventure offers a rare chance to come face-to-face with one of the planet's most awe-inspiring creatures, guided by Uganda’s premier rangers..

The journey itself is incredibly rewarding. Depending on where the gorillas spent the night, your trek may include a visit to their night nests, where you can collect samples for analysis at the Gorilla Health and Community Conservation Centre. Alternatively, you might find yourself standing mere feet away from a family of mountain gorillas, observing them as they groom one another and go about their daily lives.

For some, the experience becomes even more magical. On my third trek this year, the gorillas didn’t just let us observe—they reached out, touched us, and locked eyes with us. Moments like these are profoundly humbling and unforgettable.

Whether it’s your first trek or your third, tracking gorillas in Uganda is a bucket-list adventure that stays with you forever. This incredible experience is also offered as an add-on to our one-week horseback riding safari through the stunning Lake Victoria and River Nile regions, making it the perfect combination of adventure, nature, and cultural immersion.

R.I.P.

May my dear friend from the great wetlands rest in peace. Donizete, you taught me so much and gave so much of yourself to others. Our stirrups touched, and our friendship will remain forever. I am certain we’ll meet again one day for a gallop on the other side, sharing laughs over all the wonderful and funny moments we had together in the Pantanal. Rest in peace, my friend. 🐎❤️🐎🇧🇷🐎❤️
