    From the balloon, mountains, valleys, rivers and areas of vegetation come into broad view. The slow drift lets you grasp the scale of the Chapada and how its river basins relate to one another.

    Group or private flights can be arranged. Takeoff, route and landing depend on the weather and the pilot’s assessment. When booking, confirm the type of flight, the meeting point, the duration and the rescheduling terms.

    Read more: Canyoning

    Canyoning means moving through canyon environments using techniques suited to passages of water and rock. Depending on the route, it can include water hiking, swimming, rope descents and traverses. In the Chapada, there are operations in the Raizama area and on other watercourses.

    Set aside about six hours, adjusting the duration to the route you book. The routes can pass through places inaccessible to regular visitors, which increases the need for the right equipment and a team familiar with each section and season.

    Confirm age requirements, whether you need to know how to swim, whether neoprene is provided and cancellation due to rain.

  • Cycling

    Cycling and bike touring

    Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros

    Rides along the park road between Alto Paraíso and Colinas do Sul and the approximately 36 km bike path to São Jorge, with longer options mentioned: the loop around the National Park, rural roads, bridle paths and single-tracks.

    Read more: Cycling and bike touring

    The park road between Alto Paraíso and Colinas do Sul offers views of some of the Chapada’s main landmarks. The bike path stretch to São Jorge, described as approximately 36 km long, lets you ride past grasslands, palm swamps and well-known hills.

    Those looking for longer routes can explore the loop around the National Park, rural roads, bridle paths and single-tracks. The variety allows routes with different technical and physical demands, but it does not mean they are all signposted or authorized for bicycles.

    A specialized guide can tailor distance, surface, elevation change, support and rescue to the group. Also arrange bike rental, a bike check-up, a helmet, tools and transport when needed. The return leg deserves the same planning as the outbound one, especially on stretches exposed to the sun with few chances to resupply.

    Arriving by car

    Prices and bookings

    Confirm the price and what is included when booking.

    Getting there by car

    GO-239 gets you close to the São Jorge outings. For long routes, arrange support, parking and bike pickup; a route that is rideable by bike is not necessarily passable by car.

    Preparing for the activity

    There are routes of varying physical and technical levels, including about 36 km of bike path to São Jorge.

    Climbing

    Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros

    Climbing on the Chapada's rock formations, with regulated sectors inside the National Park; Carrossel and the boulders of the Pouso Alto area, which does not mean that just any wall or boulder is open.

    Read more: Climbing

    The Chapada's rock formations also offer climbing opportunities. There are specialized professionals and regulated sectors inside the National Park.

    Carrossel and the area near Pouso Alto are among the examples. At Pouso Alto, there are boulders of different levels on rock blocks. Do not assume that just any wall or boulder in the park is open, nor that a sector opened in a given year will stay unchanged.

    Confirm the sector, authorization, gear, environmental rules and supervision with park management and climbing professionals. Do not take a Maps search for Pouso Alto as a sign of free entry to the climbing sector.

    Read more: Rafting

    Rafting takes you down rivers in inflatable boats, with coordinated paddling and specialized guiding. Routes include canyons, calm stretches, rapids and Class III and IV drops. There are also multi-day expeditions, camping on the riverbanks.

    The actual rating and difficulty vary with the stretch and the water flow. An overnight expedition involves logistics for food, transport, gear and a contingency plan, on top of the activity on the water. Define the experience you want with the team and confirm what requirements participants must meet.

    The put-in may be far from the company's base; follow the confirmed meeting point.

  • Trekking and traverses

    Trekking and traverses

    Long overnight hikes in the Cerrado that require self-sufficiency, reservations, permission to pass through, water, food and return transport; each stretch of park, property or community territory may have its own rules.

    Read more: Trekking and traverses

    Long hikes let you stay in the Cerrado beyond the usual hours of a visit, with overnight stays, shifting light and encounters in communities. They do, however, require self-sufficiency suited to the distance, reservations, permission to pass through, water, food and return transport.

    On routes that cross the park, properties and community territory, each stretch may have its own rules. A traditional route does not automatically become a public path.

    The treks described — Travessia Leste, Sete Quedas, Fiandeiras–Capela (São Jorge–Capela), Vão do Moleque and the Caminho dos Veadeiros — are listed separately.

  • Trekking and traverses

    Travessia Leste

    Cachoeira dos Cristais · Cachoeira Água Fria · Sertão Zen · Macaquinhos · Cachoeira do Dragão · Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros

    A traditional two- to five-day trek of about seventy kilometers that leaves from Alto Paraíso, passes through the Cristais and Água Fria area, continues to Moinho and connects to Sertão Zen and Macacão, with a possible extension to Macaquinhos and Dragão.

    Read more: Travessia Leste

    The Travessia Leste is one of the Chapada's traditional treks. It starts in Alto Paraíso, passes through the Cristais and Água Fria area, continues to Moinho and connects to Sertão Zen and Macacão. Depending on how it is organized, it can be extended to Macaquinhos and Dragão.

    The stated duration is two to five days, over approximately seventy kilometers. These figures vary with the extensions chosen and the start and end points. Because part of the territory became part of the National Park, doing the trek depends on compatibility with current rules, as well as permissions from properties and communities.

    Confirm the authorized route and the feasibility of each extension before booking the trip.

  • Trekking and traverses

    Travessia do Vão do Moleque

    A four- to seven-day trek, with routes that can reach 120 km, along the bridle paths and through the Kalunga history of the Vão do Moleque; requires an agreement with the community and a local guide.

    Read more: Travessia do Vão do Moleque

    The trek through the Vão do Moleque brings visitors closer to the bridle paths and Kalunga history. The landscape includes grasslands, mountain ranges, rivers and places of community life, making the route a cultural and territorial experience as well as a sporting one.

    Seu Zé Preto, born and raised in the territory, knows the paths and helped open many of them. His knowledge is an essential part of the experience, passed on at the pace of the walk and through shared stories.

    The suggested duration ranges from four to seven days, with routes that can reach 120 km. A trek of this scale requires an agreement with the community, a local guide, planned overnight stops and meals, and respect for what may or may not be visited. Do not treat the territory as an uninhabited free-camping area.

    The existence of the Vão do Moleque waterfall platform does not, on its own, confirm that the long trek is available.

    Read more: Caminho dos Veadeiros

    The Caminho dos Veadeiros links Formosa to Cavalcante via trails, roads and communities. Brasília serves as the arrival base for starting this long-distance journey.

    The route passes through Formosa, Planaltina de Goiás, Água Fria de Goiás, São João d’Aliança, Alto Paraíso, Colinas do Sul and Cavalcante. The Serra Geral do Paranã frames the landscape, with waterfalls, viewpoints, wildlife watching, historic sites and rural hospitality.

    The network totals 1,212 km across modes and branches, including 483 km of trekking and two cycle-touring routes. For a full walk, set aside approximately twenty days, adjusting your plans to the stages and support points.

    The route is part of the Caminho dos Goyazes initiative and connects areas such as the APA do Planalto Central, Itiquira Municipal Park, Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, the APA de Pouso Alto and private reserves. The signage combines yellow and black, directions, and elements of the fauna, the flora and the Morro da Baleia.

    Choose the stages that suit your level of preparation. Confirm open sectors, permits, lodging, food and transport. For walking, use the stage route; an automatic driving route does not represent the trail.

  • Caving

    Caving and Terra Ronca

    Parque Estadual de Terra Ronca

    Cave visits with guiding and their own rules: in the Chapada, the Chapada Alta cave, to be checked with a guide; for deeper immersion, the suggestion is to extend the trip to Terra Ronca State Park, about 275 km from Alto Paraíso.

    Read more: Caving and Terra Ronca

    Speleology is the science that studies caves and their environments. Cave tourism is visiting natural caves, with guiding and rules suited to the fragility of these spaces. Water, acting over long periods, plays a part in forming galleries, passages and structures that can take thousands of years to develop.

    In Chapada Alta, a cave can be visited with a guide. For deeper immersion, you can extend the trip to the Terra Ronca State Park region, approximately 275 km from Alto Paraíso. It is a complementary trip, with a different logistics base, not a waterfall near São Jorge.

    Terra Ronca's management provides its own visiting guidelines. At Terra Ronca, hire a park-accredited guide and wear a proper helmet and closed-toe, non-slip footwear, both mandatory. Bring lighting and clothing suited to damp passages. Do not touch the formations, do not remove materials and do not leave waste behind.

  • Birdwatching

    Birding: getting to know the Chapada through its birds

    Birdwatching in the Chapada's grasslands, forests, vereda wetlands and rivers, with outings for beginners and experienced birders.

    Instagram @birdingoias
    Read more: Birding: getting to know the Chapada through its birds

    Watching birds means walking, pausing, listening, recognizing and recording. The activity, also known as birdwatching, lets you experience the same environment in a different way: a song in the woods, a flight over the grassland or behavior by the water start to guide your attention.

    The Chapada brings together birds of grasslands, forests, vereda wetlands and rivers. The Brazilian merganser (Mergus octosetaceus) and the dwarf tinamou (Taoniscus nanus) are among the species of the region. The chance to observe them depends on habitat conservation and knowledge of the species, not on a promise of finding them on any given outing.

    Birds are also part of cultural life: they inspire songs, stories, poems and place names.

    To get started, binoculars and an experienced guide matter more than sophisticated camera gear. Keep your distance, do not chase birds, do not approach nests and avoid practices that change their behavior just to get a picture. Recording sightings with place, date and careful identification can help build knowledge of biodiversity.

    Marcelo Lisita — Birding Tours. Marcelo Lisita runs birdwatching outings tied to environmental education, biodiversity awareness and respect for animal life. The outings can suit both beginners and those who already watch birds, adjusting to the group's interests and pace. Agree on species of interest, habitats, times and the meeting point.

    Walking, duration and terrain vary by itinerary. There are options for beginners and experienced birdwatchers; agree on the physical pace with the professional.
