Chapada Alta

Chapada Alta is a private complex on a ridge-top farm northeast of Alto Paraíso, in Chapada dos Veadeiros. The upper day packs waterfalls and lookouts into a few kilometers, but every stop drops and climbs. The lower section is another journey, long enough to become an overnight.

Upper section

In about 6 km you meet the Lajeado fall with its edge, a natural pool, the Samambaia, Mirante and Véu de Noiva falls, and the Vale das Araras lookout. Fixed ropes appear on exposed bits. This Lajeado is the farm's fall, not the waterfall at Vila de São Jorge.

How to get there

The road follows GO-118 toward Teresina de Goiás, about 40 km of pavement, then 10 to 12 km of dirt with locked gates. Only the guide has the keys. The access crosses the Rio das Almas: if water covers the bridge, the tour does not cross.

Lower section

The lower trail is about 19 km and wants another day, or both circuits with camping. Entry is charged per section. Visits run from April to November, in a high car.
