The 23 best hiking trails in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park

After thoroughly researching the waterfalls and trails in Chapada dos Veadeiros, I was genuinely torn about whether or not to visit Vale da Lua. It’s one of the most talked-about spots in the region, and naturally, expectations were high. However, I left with mixed feelings. While the rock formations shaped over millennia are visually striking, the overall visitor experience left much to be desired — especially considering the entrance fee, which is relatively high for what is offered. What many travelers might not know beforehand is that several natural attractions in the region, including Vale da Lua, are located on private land. That alone isn’t necessarily a problem — as long as the management offers value in return. In this case, however, there is virtually no infrastructure, no educational or environmental interpretation, and no visible oversight or preservation efforts at the site. The trail is short and accessible, but beyond the views, there’s little to enhance the experience or justify the cost. Nature in its purest form is priceless, and while it’s understandable that maintenance comes at a cost, visitors deserve more than just access — they deserve care, information, and basic facilities that protect both them and the environment. Sadly, I saw no trash bins, no guides, and no clear signage. If you’re seeking a more meaningful connection with nature, I recommend exploring the many free or lower-cost trails in the area. These often provide not only richer immersion but also more solitude and authenticity, far from the “Instagram-only” experiences. Chapada dos Veadeiros is full of incredible natural beauty — you just have to know where to look beyond the hype.

Nothing special. Crowded and way to expensive for what it is. After 20 minutes I was out. It's more for people who like an Instagram photo and don't like to hike. If you are a hiker, there are way more prettier things to see! I was so disappointed

This is the closest I'll ever get to being on the moon without actually being there 😆. The natural rock formations is stunning and lots of opportunities for cool pictures. There are crevices/caves in the water area that are cool to explore if you have a tour guide or someone that knows where to go. It can be quite claustrophobic/scary if you're not comfortable with enclosed spaces and/or swimming.

40 real for entrance in low season, but only pix or cash . Pretty short trail but very interesting and unusual. It is really like the moon surface

This place is very unique and strongly recommended for a special experience. This is so different from most places I've seen! The rock formation, the color, and the scenery are breathtaking! 40 reas to enter! Hitchhiking is very easy in this city, even from Alto Paraiso. It took me 5 min to hop in a ride as there is no bus transportation (i heard of one but everyone Hitchhikes). Taxi can be costly there. Every fall cost 40 reas, including the 3 or 4 miradors. So, be ready to spend to access these places. I preferred Salto Curumbo (south of Brasilia as it had 5 amazing waterfalls, a waterpark, and 3 swimming pool for 65 reas). See and follow my other reviews for pics.

Crazy moon landscape with canyons, pools and unbelievable rocks. Be careful of the weather because the zone is subjected to sudden and violent floods. Trust local people indication and respect the limits. Enjoy and wander in this wonderful place!

Small, but pretty place with peculiar rock formations and a river that forms nice baths. Mild trails present a beginner level tracking challenge making the visit suitable for children as well as adults.

After rain, it was brown river. Trail to get here was great.

Relax

(Translated by Google) Carrossel rapids and swimming hole. Lots of water. Hydro massage in the rapids. Well-marked trail. Medium level of difficulty, due to the distance and altitude. (Original) Corredeiras do Carrossel e poço para banho. Muita água. Hidro massagem na corredeira. Trilha bem demarca. Grau de dificuldade média, devido à distância e altimetria.

(Translated by Google) We went in a group of two adults and two children aged 12 and 10 on 06/14/25. R$35.00 for parking for the whole day in the sun, without shade. We arrived at 8:40 am and left at 4 pm. We did the yellow trail in 7 hours. The park reception gave a quick explanation of the park (less than 5 minutes). We enjoyed every moment of the trail. The viewpoint is nice, the Saltos waterfalls are great for swimming (there are some very deep spots), very beautiful and impressive. We swam, took pictures and enjoyed some time there to contemplate the beauty of the place that cannot be captured in photos. Continuing the trail, we arrived at the rapids where you can also enjoy the water, but there are many rocks, some very slippery. Be careful not to hurt yourself. You can take good pictures here. We spent more than an hour at this point. To return, there are some walkways. Throughout the yellow trail, I felt that the route was very easy, with only one moment of greater incline/uphill. A nice, easy trail. The trip was worth it, the kids had fun and we came back with more than 400 photos. A very pleasant trip. It's good that we didn't see any trash on the ground. There are few shaded spots along the trail. Much of it is in the sun. Use sunscreen. (Original) Fomos em um grupo de dois adultos e duas crianças de 12 e 10 anos no dia 14/06/25. 35,00 reais o estacionamento para o dia todo no sol, sem sombra. Chegamos às 0840h e fomos embora às 16h. Fizemos a trilha amarela em 7h. A recepção do parque deu uma rápida explicação do parque (menos de 5 min). Aproveitamos cada momento da trilha. O mirante é legal, as cachoeiras de Saltos são ótimas para banho (há alguns pontos bem fundo), muito bonitas e impressionam. Nadamos, tiramos foto e curtimos um tempo lá para contemplar a beleza do lugar que não dá para retratar em fotos. Continuando a trilha, chegamos nas corredeiras que também dá para curtir a água, mas há muitas pedra, algumas bem escorregadias. Tome cuidado para não se machucar. Dá para fazer boas fotografias aqui. Passamos mais de uma hora nesse ponto. Para retornar, há algumas passarelas. Durante toda a trilha amarela, senti que o percurso é bem tranquilo, com apenas um momento de maior declive/aclive. Trilha tranquila, bacana. Valeu a pena o passeio, criançada se divertiu e voltamos com mais de 400 fotos. Passeio muito agradável. Que bom que não vimos lixo no chão. Há poucos pontos de sombra durante a trilha. Boa parte dela é no sol. Use protetor solar.

(Translated by Google) I loved this place, the natural pools are an oasis after the long journey to get there. The trail to get there is long and rugged, so if you don't have the physical stamina it's best not to risk it. Although the park has a van service for people with problems. Another point is to take water and food because it's very sunny and you get dehydrated easily. There are a lot of rocks inside the rapids, so you have to be careful too. (Original) Amei esse lugar, as piscinas naturais são um oásis depois da longa jornada até lá.A trilha é longa e acidentada pra chegar aí, então se você não tem resistência física é melhor não arriscar. Embora o parque tenha o serviço de van para pessoas com problemas. Outro ponto leve água e comida porque é muito sol e você desidrata fácil. Dentro das corredeiras tem muitas pedras, então tem que entrar com cuidado também.

(Translated by Google) Starting from the entrance of the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, the trail to the rapids is 7km round trip (if you don't go on the other trails). The place is very pleasant. The water is clean and, for the most part, quite shallow, allowing access for everyone, including children. For people with special needs, the elderly, or children under 2 years old, the park allows entry by car (it needs to be a 4x4), and this way you can get to within about 200 meters of the river. These final 200 meters are covered via a walkway, allowing access for wheelchair users. It's worth going! (Original) A partir da portaria do Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros, a trilha para as Corredeiras tem 7Km ida e volta (se você não for nas demais trilhas). O local é muito agradável. São aguas limpas e, em grande maioria, bastante rasas, permitindo acesso de todos, inclusive crianças. Para portadores de necessidades especiais, idosos ou crianças abaixo de 2 anos, o parque permite entrar de carro (precisa ser 4x4), e assim dá para chegar até uns 200 metros do rio. Estes 200 metros finais são feitos através de uma passarela, permitindo acesso de cadeirantes. Vale a pena ir!

Expensive (70 Reais) and they don’t take cards, just Pix, which for tourists is very difficult to get without CPF and Brazilian bank account. Glad I had some cash with me. The nature there is nice. Good for families because of the wooden walkways. I prefer real trails though, so I recommend Cachoeiras dos Cristais and Águas Frias, they are more beautiful with less people and much cheaper (40 Reais).

I would like to see the falls and pools when there’s more water. It’s dry season. Beautiful, though.

The great infrastructure and the boardwalk make the pools well accessible. There are to walks leading to a waterfall with many pools on the way. Each trail is about 1km long. The entrance fee of R$50 a person is fair. We were just a bit disappointed as most of the pools were very low, only one pool was deep and blue as we imagined. Consequently many people stayed at this pool which didn’t make it enjoyable. I recommend only coming after a few weeks of rain.

Beautiful waterfalls! Make sure to go at 12pm.

A nice cachoeira with incredible infrastructure very near town

Ok

Show

It is a beautiful waterfall with easy access, but if you want to enjoy more you should visit during the dry season from June to October. As it was November there was a lot of rain making it impossible to relax in the waters. Nevertheless it was an amazing sight to see.

Recommend it a 100%. The entrance price of 70R$ per person might sound a bit expensive at first, but if you visit all 3 waterfalls and spend a bit of time just enjoying nature, it is totally worth it. We went on a Monday morning and there was literally no one there! This one is much smaller then almecegas 1, but it's a nice one to swim!

Steep hike up, but gorgeous waterfall! Highly recommend!

Ok

Small kid’s friendly easy trail waterfall!

Loved it!

This is the furthest away but by best the most beautiful and the most impressive.

Spectacular falls, I think the dry season made it more special. Challenging trek to the viewpoint and a stunning sunset to finish it off. <Chef’s Kiss>

definitely a to do when you are at Chapada dos Veadeiros. Parking lot available around 3km from the town. Nice hike, med level I would say. Awesome viewpoint, nice nature around and a waterfall on the way to have a swim

If y are prepared for one of the more difficult tours which will take y about one hour and 30min each direction but compensates with an really breathtaking view y have to go there.

Place with a beautiful view of waterfalls and a nice place to mind relaxing. The place has a little waterfall called "Abyss waterfall" but it's available only in rain station.

Best view I've ever seen in the Chapada dos Veadeiros. The track is a little bit hard due to the inclination, but the view totally pays off all the effort. The round trip took me 2h30 and the guy at the entrance, where you have to pay 15 reais, is really sweet and always offers you coffee and water.

Very interesting trail leading to remarkable views of the chapada and a couple of it's waterfalls. Vale a pena. :-)

Amazing place!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place and worth it. A complicated trail to go without a guide because there is not much support. We managed to go and come back easily but there are some difficult sections. Cachoeira do Abismo on the way is very nice. (Original) Lugar lindo e vale a pena. Trilha complicadinha pra ir sem guia pq não tem muito acompanhamento. Conseguimos ir e voltar tranquilo mas tem alguns trechos um pouco difíceis.Cachoeira do abismo no caminho eh bem gostosa

(Translated by Google) The view from the lookout is beautiful! However, it's a rocky, fairly steep trail, moderate to difficult. At a reasonable pace, the hike to the lookout takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes. The best time to climb is during the rainy season, until around March, when you'll stop to cool off at the Abyss waterfall (the only point with water). 3:30 hours is enough to hike the trail there and back, film videos, and take photos at the main points. The trail isn't marked as advertised at the entrance; there are several sections, such as the stairs, that lack handrails, some are broken, exposed screws, and several other obstacles. So be very careful when crossing to avoid injury and ruin your trip! The view from the lookout overlooks the waterfalls of Saltos 120 and 80, located within Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park. Extra tip: If you want to see the waterfalls, take the park's yellow trail! It's worth the trip! The Chapada is breathtaking! (Original) Vista do mirante é linda!, mas é uma trilha sobre pedras, bastante íngrime, nível moderado à difícil. Num ritmo ok faz-se a trilha ao mirante em torno de 1:10h. A melhor época para subir é no período de chuvas, até por volta de março onde terá uma parada pra se refrescar na cachoeira do abismo (único ponto com água). 3:30h é o suficiente para percorrer a trilha ida e volta,fazer vídeos, tirar fotos nos principais pontos do passeio. A trilha não está sinalizada como dizem na entrada, tem várias partes do percurso como nas escadas que estão sem corrimão, alguns em falso, parafusos expostos, entre vários outros obstáculos, então bastante cuidado ao passar para não se machucar e acabar com o rolê! A vista do mirante se dá para as quedas dos Saltos 120 e 80 que estão localizadas dentro do Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros. Dica extra: Caso queira conhecer os Saltos só optar pela trilha amarela do Parque! Vale a pena o passeio! A Chapada é deslumbrante!!

(Translated by Google) The trail to the viewpoint is challenging, so it is not recommended for children. It is essential to be careful and avoid unnecessary risks, such as trying to reach the edge of the rock to take photos — this can be extremely dangerous. If you fall, the consequences can be serious. Although the trail signs are not perfect, the path is relatively intuitive, with some signs along the way. It is recommended to bring plenty of water, as the effort can be intense, especially on hot days. There are two waterfalls on the trail that, apparently, only appear during the rainy season. At the reception, visitors have access to a bathroom and water, which offers greater convenience to start and end the adventure. The landscape is worth it. One of the most beautiful views I have ever seen! (Original) A trilha até o mirante é desafiadora, por isso, não é recomendada para crianças. É essencial ter cuidado e evitar riscos desnecessários, como tentar chegar na beira da pedra para tirar fotos — isso pode ser extremamente perigoso. Em caso de queda, as consequências podem ser graves. Embora a sinalização da trilha não seja perfeita, o caminho é relativamente intuitivo, com algumas indicações ao longo do percurso. Recomenda-se levar bastante água, pois o esforço pode ser intenso, especialmente em dias quentes. Há duas cachoeiras no trajeto que, ao que parece, surgem apenas na época de chuvas. Na recepção, os visitantes contam com banheiro e acesso a água, o que oferece maior comodidade para iniciar e finalizar a aventura. A paisagem vale a pena. Um dos visuais mais bonitos que já vi!

(Translated by Google) The trail is rocky, but reaching the final destination is rewarding. I must point out that the trail is dangerous to access due to deteriorated bridges and wooden handrails, creating a risk of falls for tourists, which could lead to death. I will file a formal complaint with the state and municipal authorities. It's absurd; I photographed all the damaged areas. I hope URGENT measures are taken. (Original) Trilha com muitas rochas, porém a chegada no ponto final é recompensador. Devo salientar que o trajeto está com acesso perigoso devido a degradação das pontes e corrimões em madeira gerando risco de queda dos turistas com possibilidade de óbito. Farei uma denúncia formal ao Estado e ao Município. É um absurdo, fotografei todos os locais degradados. Espero que medidas URGENTES sejam tomadas.

(Translated by Google) A difficult trail, but the view is definitely worth it. It is a 7 km round trip, but with several steep sections. At the end, the reward comes with a bath in the Poção do Abismo. (Original) Trilha difícil mas com certeza a vista vale a pena. São 7 km de ida e volta mas com vários trechos íngremes . No final a recompensa vem com o banho no Poção do Abismo.

(Translated by Google) There's no indication of the length of the trail, which, by the way, feels more like mountaineering. It's 7 km, and many hikers need four supports. There's no signage, no support points. One of the girls in our group fell ill, and we couldn't call for help. Bring at least a liter of water per person, a UV shirt, and stop to rest because it's a four-hour, winding trail. Prepare yourself well physically beforehand. (Original) Não há indicação sobre quantos kms são de trilha, que por sinal, mais parece montanhismo, são 7 km onde muitos precisa de 4 apoios, não há sinalização, não há ponto de apoio, uma das meninas do nosso grupo passou mal e não conseguíamos pedir ajuda. Leve ao menos um litro de água por pessoa, camisa UV, pare para descansar porque são 4 horas de uma trilha sinuosa. Se prepare bem fisicamente antes.

(Translated by Google) The trail is challenging, but the views are stunning. We went in September 2024, and the region hadn't had rain in about five months. That's why the Abyss waterfall was dry. We left at 8:40 a.m. and arrived at the entrance at 1:30 p.m. Bring water (2 liters per person), something to eat on the way there and back, and I recommend wearing hiking boots or sneakers, as the trail is rocky and has steep descents and ascents. Sunscreen shirts are a big help, because without water to bathe in, the hike under the hot sun is tense, but in the end, the challenge is worth it; the view is sensational. (Original) A trilha é desafiadora, em contrapartida o visual é deslumbrante. Fomos em setembro/24 e a região estava há cerca de 5 meses sem chuva. Por este motivo a cachoeira do abismo estava seca. Saímos 8h40 da manhã e chegamos na portaria às 13h30. Levem água (2 litros por pessoa), algo para comer na ida e volta e recomendo usar botina de trilha ou tênis de trilha, pois o caminho tem muitas pedras, descidas e subidas íngremes. As camisas com filtro solar ajudam demais, porque sem água para se banhar, o caminho sob o sol quente é tenso, mas no fim vale a pena o desafio, a vista é sensacional.

(Translated by Google) The trail is well signposted, the campsite is close to the waterfalls (Original) A trilha e bem sinalizada, o camping fica próximo das cachoeiras

(Translated by Google) Excellent trail, despite being difficult. It requires planning, leadership and lots of water/chlorine. The campsite is on the banks of the Rio Preto, and it was the second most enjoyable swim of my life. The campsite has tables and a roof for meals and two dry toilets (I had never used them, but I managed and survived walking alone at night in the woods). The Sete Quedas (waterfall) is literally next to the campsite. I recommend booking two overnight stays, so you can have a full day of fun, as the trail is quite challenging. On the way there, it is 17 km and on the way back, it is a 3 km climb, and then another 3 km straight. BOOK IN ADVANCE as the trail is popular and there are only 40 overnight/day tickets. Best trip/camping destination near BSB to date (09/2023). (Original) Trilha excelente, a pesar de ser de nível difícil. Requer planejamento, liderança e muita água/Clorin. O camping é na beira do Rio Preto, foi o segundo banho mais gostoso da minha vida. O camping tem mesas e cobertura para refeições e dois banheiros secos (nunca tinha usado, mas consegui e sobrevivi andar sozinho de noite no mato). As Sete Quedas (cachoeira) ficam literalmente ao lado do camping. Recomendo pegar duas pernoites, pra ter um dia de curtição pois a trilha é bem puxada. Na ida são 17 km e na volta, são 3km de subida, e depois mais 3km na reta. RESERVE COM ANTECEDÊNCIA pois a trilha é disputada e são só 40 ingressos de pernoite/dia. Melhor viagem/destino de camping perto de BSB até hoje (09/2023).

(Translated by Google) Best camping spot during the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park trail. With dry bathroom, support table and great baths in the Rio Preto. (Original) Melhor lugar de acampamento durante a trilha do Parque Nacional Chapada dos Veadeiros. Com banheiro seco, mesa de apoio e ótimos banhos no Rio Preto.

(Translated by Google) A campsite at the Sete Quedas crossing, it has a dry toilet (only for use in No. 2), communal tables, and space to set up tents. According to park rules, it should allow up to 30 people, but I don't know if the administration is taking this precaution. (Original) Ponto de acampamento na travessia das Sete Quedas, conta com banheiro seco (somente usar para o n° 2), mesas comunitárias, espaço para montar barracas. De acordo com as regras do parque, deveria permitir até 30 pessoas, mas não sei se a administração está tendo esse cuidado.

(Translated by Google) I'm in love with this campsite. One of the most beautiful crossings of Chapada dos Veadeiros. Rustic campsite, with dry bathroom and covered area with tables. Structure for tents in front of the Rio Preto. (Original) Apaixonada por esse camping. Uma das travessias mais lindas da chapada dos veadeiros. Camping rústico, com banheiro seco e espaço coberto com mesas. Estrutura para barracas em frente ao rio preto.

(Translated by Google) Sensational! It's worth making the crossing and sleeping at the campsite inside the National Park. (Original) Sensacional! Vale a pena fazer a travessia e dormir no camping dentro do Parque Nacional.

(Translated by Google) The path to the campsite is very well signposted. The area is large, so it's best to arrive early to find a good spot to set up your tent. I suggest booking two nights to make the most of it and without rushing. My cell phone had excellent 4G signal in the campsite area, but not all of them had a signal. Bring a garbage bag and carry your trash with you. Don't leave trash on the site or on the trail. Be sure to follow environmental recommendations. (Original) O caminho pro camping é mto bem sinalizado. O espaço é amplo, ideal chegar cedo pra conseguir um bom lugar pra montar a barraca. Sugiro reservar duas pernoites pra aproveitar bem e sem pressa. Na área do camping meu celular pegou 4g com excelente qualidade, porém não eram todos que tinham sinal. Levem saco de lixo e carreguem embora seu lixo, não deixem lixo no local ou na trilha. Não deixem de seguir as recomendações ambientais.

I still don't understand why in Brazil people charge money for the waterfall. At least go to both( even if they will tell you that you need a guide, it is super easy , only 35 minutes to água Frio , and it is not that cold 🤣?

Very nice place, good food, waterfalls even better ;) i saw they have very good sound system in this place but had no occasion to check it :)

Nice place with a restaurant and shop. Pleasant walk down the river passing many small waterfalls, steep descent in a few parts. Largest waterfall at the bottom with a swimming pool. Lunch was good and reasonably priced. As with other places half price for oldies. Quite busy but was the weekend. There is a longer harder walk to another waterfall that we did not do.

The waterfalls and the trail down are absolutely fantastic here. Unfortunately, the place has become a bit massive with large sound systems and a big restaurant. Overall, the waterfalls are fantastic and the price is fairly reasonable for what you get. Definitely recommend it to anyone in the Chapada dos veadeiros.

Fantastic place to visit in family. There is a very good camping area. The waterfalls are safety for children.

An amazing and beautiful place for hikes and trails and waterfall baths. The scenery and the nature are breathtaking.

Great place, has good structure with a restaurant and bathrooms before you set out on the trail. The trail itself is a little tough, especially on the way back up. Everywhere you turn there is a different waterfall with little secrets further down the path. The star waterfall is at the very bottom, and is worth the hike, but there are many waterfalls along the way for those who aren't afraid to explore a bit! Bring good shoes! A great place to spend the whole day.

You can take a van and have 3km short trail afternoon. The view is breathtaking. It rains hard sometimes for short minutes so worth taking rain coat.

Astonishing view! Miss it a lot! Long trail, but worth the effort.

Amazing nature show, a must do in the area

Beautiful! Had fun in the water!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful landscape, well-marked trail. You don't need a guide, but it is subject to visitor restrictions. You can go with or without a van. Without a van, it is about 11km round trip and the trail is long but very easy. The hardest part is the descent (and ascent to the viewpoint), but if you don't have mobility limitations, it is fine. (Original) Paisagem linda, trilha bem sinalizada. Não precisa de Guia, mas está sujeito à limitação de visitantes. Pode ir com ou sem a Van, sem a Van dá uns 11km ida e volta e a trilha é longa mas muito fácil. A pior parte está na descida (e subida do mirante), mas se não tiver limitação de mobilidade é tranquilo.

The weather is pretty hot during the day. So bring a lot of water and sun protection. You can buy the ticket on the website of the national park. There are several trails sharing the same trailhead and you only need to buy one entrance for R$40. The view is nice although the mirante da Janela has better view. You can swim in the pool under the waterfall, so remember to bring swimming suits and towels. The trail is not hard but can be tiring for beginners. But there are transportation provided by the park with a fee which can save you some energy. They also sell snacks and drinks at the station and the coconut water is pretty nice

Last 200meters are not trail just walk on rocks at river side.

(Translated by Google) I really liked the place. It's really beautiful. Nature screams in all its efficiency. The trail is moderate/easy, especially in dry weather. We went in October/2024 and the tour was very, very good. The photos almost speak for themselves... This plateau is really beautiful. (Original) Gostei demais do lugar. Bem bonito mesmo. Natureza grita em toda sua eficiência. A trilha é moderada/fácil, principalmente com tempo seco. Fomos em outubro/2024 e o passeio foi muito, muito bom. As fotos quase falam... Essa chapada é realmente linda.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, lots of places to swim. The trail is a bit steep, with a lot of downhill to get to the main trail, but it's worth it. You have to pay for parking and entrance to the park. Don't forget to bring food, there is a snack bar there, but it's quite expensive. (Original) Lindo, vários locais para banho. A trilha é um pouco intensa, muita descida para chegar na principal, mas vale muito a pena. Paga estacionamento e entrada no parque. Não esquecer de levar comida, lá tem lanchonete, mas é bem caro.

(Translated by Google) Incredibly beautiful waterfall, with a huge pool for bathing, very refreshing water after just over an hour of hiking. There are several rocks where you can sit in the water. There is a "small beach", good for children. (Original) Cachoeira incrivelmente linda, com um poço enorme para banho, água muito refrescante após pouco mais de 1 hora de trilha. Várias pedras onde é possível ficar sentado dentro d'água. Possui uma "prainha", bom para crianças ficarem.

(Translated by Google) The Sertão Zen trail is a trail for those with great fitness, I mean excellent fitness, a heavy trail, especially at the beginning, it already shows its degree of difficulty, a lot of elevation and little signage. You have to have experience with trails with a lot of loose rock, very few trees on the way, the sun doesn't give you a break from the beginning to the end. Have plenty of water, as it will require a lot of hydration and your footwear needs to be specific for that type of loose rock soil. Have a good map on your cell phone, an app for the trail, and remember not to leave your remains behind. (Original) A trilha do sertão zen é uma trilha para quem tem ótimo condicionamento, digo excelente condicionamento, trilha pesada principalmente no início ela ja mostra o seu grau de dificuldade, muita elevação pouco sinalizada você tem que ter experiência com trilhas de muita rocha solta, pouquissimas árvores no caminho o sol não te dá folga do início alto fim, tenha bastante água, pois vai exigir muita hidratação e seu calçado precisa ser específico para aquele tipo solo de rocha solta tenha um bom mapa no celular aplicativo para trilha e lembre-se nao deixe seus restos para traz.

(Translated by Google) A difficult trail, not for everyone's fitness level. We hiked 12 km in 3 hours, following the Mirante trail. We went without a guide, more for the trail itself, not the waterfall. We lost track of the trail and the trail signs for the last 2 km and ended up turning back. It was worth the hike, but if you want to go to the waterfall itself, I recommend taking a guide, as the trail is poorly marked at the end (and I'm used to hiking!). (Original) Trilha difícil, não é pra qualquer condicionamento físico. Fizemos 12 km em 3horas, indo pelo lado da trilha do Mirante. Fomos sem guia, mais pelo passeio da trilha mesmo, não pela cascata. Os últimos 2km “perdemos” os rastros e a sinalização da trilha e acabamos voltando. Valeu pelo passeio, mas se quiser ir até a cachoeira mesmo, recomendo levar um guia, pois ao final da trilha ela é bem mal sinalizada (e olha que eu sou acostumada a fazer trilhas!).

(Translated by Google) We didn't do the entire route, but it was possible to enjoy beautiful views of the city and the horizon after 20 minutes of walking. We will return to walk to the end and see the waterfall at the end of the route. (Original) Não fizemos o percurso completo, mas já foi possível desfrutar de vistas lindas da cidade e do horizonte após 20 mimutos de caminhada. Voltaremos pra percorrer até o final e conhecer a cachoeira no fim do percurso.

(Translated by Google) "Zen backlands only the strong come" It's worth waking up at 5 a.m., climbing without the sun, and watching the magnificent sunrise from the top of the mountain 😍😍😍😍😍 A trail for those who truly enjoy connecting with nature, not for those who just want to take a photo lol and say they've seen the place 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Original) "sertão zen só os fortes vem" Vale a pena acordar às 5 da manhã, subir sem sol e ver o magnífico nascer do sol do alto da montanha 😍😍😍😍😍 Trilha pra quem gosta de verdade de estar em conexão com a natureza e não pra quem só quer tirar uma foto kkkk e dizer que conheceu o lugar 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

(Translated by Google) 42 times by all possible means. (Original) 42 vezes por todas as vias possíveis.

Everyone knows it as a great place to watch the sunset. It is that, but not good for much else. And I have to wonder if just stopping at some other random spot along the road would offer comparable views of the sunset. Having said that, the night I was there (unremarkable evening in July) there was a crowd of 30-40 people there, all gathered just to watch the sunset. Kinda fun and heartwarming to gather for such a simple and rarely celebrated event.

You can just stop your car at some random place along the road and it would be the same thing. There is nothing special here. The sunset and the Morro da Baleia view are beautiful, but you could get the same view from hundreds of different places in the area.

Nice place to watch the sun set and look at the stars at night. Though you're limited to a couple view points and the place gets dirty after weekends when uneducated people use it as a toilet and leave their garbage behind.

Umm I don't get this place. The only thing that is worth going there for is to see the sunset. Apart from that there is nothing to see.

Not the best view from the road but you can always take a photo at the sunset

A great place to go through

Totaly amazing

Secret Waterfall was the first one we visited—and one of the most beautiful! It’s located 51 km from Alto Paraíso de Goiás, with the final 7 km along a well-maintained dirt road, accessible without a 4x4. Along the way, you’ll find a charming restaurant called Moringa—a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy excellent food with family and friends. The trail to the waterfall is about 2.5 km and takes approximately 2 hours round trip

Incredible waterfall!! There are two other natural pools before getting to the main waterfall, all of them beautiful. The hike is about 7 km round trip, super recommended 👌🏾🇧🇷❤️

Wow 😮 Definitely is a breath taking! Really nice trail to the waterfront and the view spectacular

It's not that impressive, but you can swim there. There is also a relaxing lake. It's not too complicated to arrive at the small fall! 40 reais to enter.

Easy 7K trek to the falls. Capuchin monkeys along the way and suspension bridges to make it fun.

Most amazing place ever. Two crustal clear swimming pools before heading to the waterfall that was breathtaking. A photo can do justice. Stunning.

Wonderful

I loved the beautiful scenery all around the property. This was one of the most incredible places that I visited! The owner was very kind and welcoming. We were provided lots of recommendations on where to eat, what to do, and places to go. The breakfast was delicious with the incredible view of the mountain. The cottage was very comfortable and it had everything that we needed for the stay. We also really appreciated the owner's investment in adopting sustainable practices that preserve the local environment.

A haven of peace and beauty in Chapada dos Veadeiros. 🌿 My stay at Pousada Morro da Baleia was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had surrounded by nature. From the very first moment, we were welcomed by Manuel, the host, a rare soul—generous, welcoming, and with an inner light that shines through in every gesture. He makes you feel truly at home.

Ele faz você se sentir verdadeiramente em casa. A localização da pousada é perfeita: cercada por verde, com uma vista deslumbrante para o Morro da Baleia, e estrategicamente situada entre Alto Paraíso e Vila de São Jorge — a poucos minutos das trilhas e cachoeiras mais incríveis da região.

This is the closest trail complex to the village of São Jorge and a great starting point for exploring Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park. You can walk from the village to the park entrance, where you’ll find several well-marked trails, each identified by color: blue, yellow, red, orange, and a longer crossing trail. Depending on the season, it’s essential to check which routes are open — during the rainy season, access and safety conditions may change drastically. Always stop by the visitor center to ask which spots are safe for swimming, as flash floods can occur and pose serious risks. The trails are generally easy for those with hiking experience and showcase the stunning landscapes of the region. Don’t forget to pack plenty of water, some snacks, and to bring all your trash back out with you. Help protect this beautiful part of Brazil’s natural heritage. Tickets can be purchased online, and multi-day passes are available — which is worth it, as one day isn’t enough to explore all the trails. Respect nature and your limits, and enjoy every step of the journey.

Beautiful place. I did the yellow trail. Was very easy! Possible on flip flops, but shoes are recommended. No hiking shoes needed. Unfortunately the red trail is closed due the rain.

Absolutely great park with massive waterfalls and rapids (in rain season begin april). Both yellow (Salto 2.5 hour) and red (Canion 3 hour) is very doable in 1 day if your above average fit (4.5km/h). Add extra time for pictures and swimming. 18km in total mostly flat terrain some parts with rocks.

Gorgeous incredible hiking. Friendly, professional staff. Several waterfalls to see and excellent plant life. You will want to be in reasonable shape.

Tha parque nacional is extremely well organized, quite cheap and certainly worth the visit if y are around here. Different routes with very different extensions and difficulty's are very well marked A Van service for some of the bigger extensions is available but has to be arranged at the entrance of the park

Chapada dos Veadeiros's National Park is truly a sight to behold! A day-long trail (among other options) was breathtaking, beautiful, and refreshing at the end. Come prepared, though, because of its difficulties!

Amazing

This was the first fall we visited in Chapada and the one with enjoyed the most. The trail is intense but short. You can swim and enter under the fall! And the scenery is amazing.

The two waterfall complex at Fazenda São Bento host natural pools and very nice tracking (not more than 2kms). It might not be suited for kids because the trail gets somewhat steep at some points, but over all it is of easy to medium level. When we visited the complex rainy season was upon us and the topically 6m deep Almécegas I was as deep as 11m so swimming, as well as not getting soaked were out of the question. None the less, the visit was well worth it.

Unreal place! One of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had, super recommended.

It's a beautiful place. There are 3 waterfalls, a cafe and a small restaurant. They had live music when we where there. Top hint, start at the closest waterfall, then go to Almécegas 2 next and leave Almécegas 1 to the end, then you have seem them in the best order.

Easy short walking access ans an incredible view from top and bottom of the waterfall is certainly worth going there.

Good for swimming, huge and beautiful waterfall.

Omg I love this place .....it's worth it ... u can see the waterfalls from down and up 2 path

Chapada dos Veadeiros's National Park is truly a sight to behold! The day-long trail that leads to this waterfall and Cariocas's waterfall was breathtaking, beautiful, and refreshing at the end. Come prepared, though, because of its difficulties!

This first spot (of 3) is a handful for those who enjoy jumping off hights and into the water. Remember to check dept and stones in water before you attempt a high move!!

Gorgeous waterfall with a bathing area during drier seasons. These pictures are from the rainy season, when the waters get too strong for bathing, but put a spectacular show. Trail is 10kms long, so be ready and take water and food. On the same trail you can visit both Canion II and Cariocas. Canion I is closed during rainy season.

It's a simple nice walk ...... no major heights I loved it

(Translated by Google) The trail is easy, but what's most striking is the direct sun; there's almost no shade, so you always need to wear a hat and sunglasses. Aside from that, it's a pleasant trail and the canyon has good rock formations. (Original) O percurso eh tranquilo, mas o que mais impacta eh o sol na cabeça direto, quase nao tem area coberta, precisa sempre estar de boné e oculos escuros. Fora isso trilha tranquila e uma boa formação rochosa neste canion.

(Translated by Google) People talk a lot about the price, but this place is all about having an experience. It has a privileged view of the sunset, live music, and a wonderful vibe! They have Corona, Budweiser, and another drink that I can't remember, a wonderful pizza, and popcorn too. Comfortable and charming. Everything is very beautiful, I highly recommend it. There is a $20 entrance fee, but it is well worth it. (Original) Muito se fala sobre o preço, mas esse lugar é sobre viver uma experiência. Visão privilegiada do pôr do sol, teve música ao vivo, uma vibe maravilhosa! Tem corona, bud e outra que não me recordo, uma pizza maravilhosa e tinha pipoca também. Confortável e charmoso. Tudo muito lindo, super recomendo. É cobrado um valor de 20$ para entrar, mas vale muito a pena.

(Translated by Google) A great place to watch the sunset with family or friends. It has a small bar on site and very appropriate decor. Fair entrance fee, R$10 per person in December/2020. (Original) Um ótimo lugar para ver o Pôr do Sol com a família ou os amigos. Tem um barzinho no local e uma decoração muito apropriada. Entrada justa, R$10 por pessoa em dez/2020.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful spots if not the most beautiful spot to see a sunset over the Chapada national park, small bar next door which serves small pizzas and beers. It is also the starting point for 2 trails which are among the most beautiful in the region. (Original) Un des plus beaux spots si ce n'est le plus beau spot pour voir un couché de soleil sur le parc national de chapada, petit bar a côté qui sert des petites pizzas et des bières. C'est aussi le point de départ de 2 trails qui sont parmis les plus beaux de la région.

(Translated by Google) You know that inner peace that you look for and never find... there you will find it. The view is breathtaking and the sunset is magical, and look, the day I went the weather was cloudy. The photos speak for themselves!!! (Original) Sabe aquela paz interior que vc procura e nunca acha... lá vc vai encontrar. A vista é deslumbrante e o pôr do sol é algo mágico, e olha que no dia que fui o tempo estava nublado. As fotos falam por si só!!!

(Translated by Google) A really cool little place at the top of the mountain, where as soon as you enter the parking lot, an incredible view opens up before your eyes. What a great vibe!!! What a view! The place has a bar that serves some drinks (beers, water, juices, soft drinks, wines) and snacks (peanuts, tapioca biscuits, pizza, lasagna and escondidinho), bathroom and tables/chairs available. Entry 0800. (Original) Um lugarzinho massa demais no alto da montanha, onde assim que você acessa o estacionamento abre uma vista e um visual incrível em frente aos teus olhos. Que vibe boa!!!

Entrada 0800.

(Translated by Google) Although I really enjoy hiking, this isn't one of the easiest. But the place is definitely worth a visit. The rapids of the Rio Preto Canyon are part of the Yellow Trail in the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park in Alto Paraíso de Goiás, with entry via the village of São Jorge. Nature is bustling. It's really cool. Unforgettable. I highly recommend visiting the place. Go early. Bring water. Protect yourself and walk carefully. (Original) Embora eu curta muita trilha, essa não é uma das mais fáceis. Mas o lugar vale muito à pena de ser visitado. As corredeiras do Cânion do Rio Preto fazem parte da Trilha Amarela no Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros em Alto Paraíso de Goiás com entrada pela Vila de São Jorge. Natureza ferve. A coisa é bem legal. Inesquecível. Recomendo muito visitar o lugar. Vá cedo. Leve água. Proteja-se e ande com cuidado.

(Translated by Google) As beautiful as it is dangerous, lol 400m, but climbing and climbing rocks. If you're backpacking, it's best to leave it behind. (Original) Tão lindo quanto perigoso rsrs 400m mas escalando e subindo pedra. Se for de mochilão melhor deixar pra trás.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. If you know how to swim, you can go inside the canyon, where almost at the end there is a rock where you can sit peacefully, admiring the landscape. (Original) Lugar lindo. Se souber nadar é possível ir dentro do cânion, onde quase ao final tem uma pedra que da pra ficar sentada tranquilamente, contemplando a paisagem.

(Translated by Google) If you are up for a 10 km hike, it is definitely worth visiting this waterfall. The hike is physically demanding, as the path has some light obstacles, such as rocks and terrain, and you will need to carry a backpack with water and food. The waterfall consists of a large pool and several smaller ones. Some of the pools have some large rocks, so be careful not to jump in head first. (Original) Se vc tiver disposição para uma trilha de 10 kms vale muito a pena conhecer essa cachoeira. A caminhada exige bastante fisicamente já que o caminho tem obstáculos leves, como pedras e área e é necessário levar mochila com água e comida. A cachoeira é composta por um poço grande e diversos outros menores. Alguns poços com algumas pedras grandes, então cuidado com saltos de cabeça.

(Translated by Google) Think of a quality duo, Canyons I and II, a very beautiful place but you need to be well prepared as the walk is very long, it is worth every step taken but it is always worth remembering the risk of waterspouts in the plateau, I went in the summer and the sun is very hot so I used factor 50 or more sunscreen. (Original) pensa em uma dupla de qualidade são as Canions I e II, lugar muito bonito mas é necessário ir bem preparado pois a caminha é bem longa, vale muito a pena cada passo dado mas vale lembrar sempre o risco de trombas d'água na chapada, fui no verão o sol é muito quente então protetor fator 50 ou mias.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place (Original) Lugar muito lindo

Located within Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, Salto I is a must-visit destination. You can reach it in two ways: by hiking for about 2 hours—which I highly recommend—or by taking a transfer that drops you just 20 minutes from the falls. The trail is rated moderate to difficult, but the reward is worth it—it’s truly one of the most breathtaking places in the world!!!! This waterfalls is also known as Salto do Rio Preto or Salto 120.

(Translated by Google) Long but rewarding trail. The return from the waterfall is steep but doable. The trail is 11km long and passes by 3 waterfalls, 2 of which are for swimming. The 11km trail is worthwhile, but requires some preparation. (Original) Trilha longa mas compensadora. Retorno da cachoeira íngrime, porém possível de ser feita. São 11km de trilha que passam por 3 cachoeiras sendo 2 para banho. Os 11km de trilha compensam, mas exigem um pouco de preparo.

(Translated by Google) Just to look. It's worth it because it's included in the ticket. If you're in São Jorge, go. Don't make an effort to go if you're somewhere else in Chapada. (Original) Só pra olhar. Vale porque tá incluso no ingresso. Se estiver em São Jorge, vá. Não se esforce pra or se estiver em outro lugar na Chapada.
