About This Tour in Brasilia

This trip will take you to a very special place in Brazil – the land of waterfalls. You will swim in clear natural pools and bask in nature. As the chapada is located close to Brasília, we recommend that you also take in the architectural masterpieces of the capital. The trip is designed for travellers who like hiking, but there is a good pace offering both walking and relaxation. The waterfalls are usually hidden at the end of the trails, so one can always take a dip in the fresh relaxing waters. Chapada dos Veadeiros is good to visit year round. In June there is an amazing festival called Encontro de Culturas which we highly recommend.
