Powerful nature in impressive landscapes
The itinerary is well planned and highlights the most striking side of Chapada. The trails require some stamina, but the reward is in massive waterfalls and canyons that look sculpted by nature. It’s an intense and inspiring experience, with time to swim and take it all in.
