About this activity

Embark on a one-day immersion in the Chapada dos Veadeiros, rich in nature, culture and history. Departing from Alto Paraíso, you’ll head to Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park.

Your first stop is Whale Hill Viewpoint, which opens onto sweeping vistas of the Cerrado savanna and surrounding mountains. Next, gentle trails through the mystical Maytrea Garden reveal the region’s remarkable biodiversity and distinctive landscapes.

A pause in the rustic village of São Jorge lets you soak up local culture: unpaved streets, a laid-back, spiritual vibe and the villagers’ warm simplicity.

You’ll then follow historic paths once trodden by crystal prospectors to two natural gems: Garimpão Falls and a breathtaking 120-metre waterfall that plunges dramatically into a turquoise pool.

Finally, cool off in the river’s crystal-clear rapids— the perfect, revitalising finale to a day of pure connection with nature.

Book your Chapada dos Veadeiros immersion now and experience the very best of the region on an authentic, unforgettable adventure.
