Chapada dos Veadeiros sits on one of the planet's oldest rocky plateaus — the central Brazilian highlands formed over 1.7 billion years ago. Today, the region centred on Alto Paraíso de Goiás and the village of São Jorge attracts nature lovers, hikers, spiritual seekers and anyone who wants to swim in pristine wild water far from the crowds.

🗓️ When to go

☀️ Dry season (May–September)

Best for hiking and waterfall swimming. Trails are clear and water levels ideal. July is busiest (school holidays) — book accommodation weeks ahead.

🌧️ Rainy season (October–April)

The Cerrado turns green and lush. Waterfalls are fuller and more dramatic. Some trails may close after heavy rain. Warmer temperatures.
