Itinerary in Jalapão: Waterfalls, Springs and Culture
Daniel Moura

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.
