Immersion in the nature and culture of the cerrado

The itinerary is diverse and offers a good mix of nature, culture, and history. Serras Gerais impress with lesser-known landscapes, and Jalapão remains majestic. The logistics were efficient, and the presence of local guides added great value to the experience.

Wonders of Jalapão

The Jalapão expedition was well-organized and balanced. The variety of natural landscapes and the presence of local communities make the itinerary complete. The days were intense but well-paced, with time to reflect, learn, and enjoy nature.

Jalapão between crystal waters and traditions

The itinerary in Jalapão strikes a good balance between adventure and local culture. The fervedouros impress with their color and the unique floating sensation, while the waterfalls are a great relief from the Cerrado heat. Handicrafts and stories from the communities make the experience authentic.

Two biomes in harmony

The experience in Cantão is surprising due to its natural diversity. In a single day, you can paddle through streams, watch birds, and hike through the Cerrado. The transition between biomes is clear and enriching. It’s a journey for those looking to learn from nature and slow down.

A dive into nature

Cantão surrounded me with its sounds, its scents, and the life pulsing all around. Paddling through igarapés, watching the birds, and feeling time slow down was a deep experience. A place that invites you to be truly present.
