An inspiring trekking
The trail to the Sertão Zen viewpoint is long and requires some fitness, but the pace is steady and the landscapes change beautifully along the way. Reaching the top is moving, with open views of Chapada and a peaceful feeling that’s hard to put into words. A place for reflection and stillness.
