Chapada dos Veadeiros with poetry
The experience was smoothly guided and unhurried, allowing time to enjoy each stop. The three locations show different landscapes of the Chapada. A special highlight was our guide Ivan, who deeply understands the cerrado and even shared poetry about nature and conservation along the way.

Three places that reveal nature's strength
This itinerary showcases the diversity of Chapada well. Each of the three spots has its own identity, with impressive waterfalls and accessible trails. It’s a great option for those short on time who still want to feel the region’s energy.
