Near the capital, Brasilia is the natural paradise of Chapada dos Veadeiros; for those who love hidden waterfalls, this is the place to go. If you are looking for the best in Brazilian nature and adventure, then Chapada dos Veadeiros is for you!

 

Chapada dos Veadeiros

Why Visit?

In addition to surreal landscapes and a vast concentration of waterfalls, the Chapada dos Veadeiros Nature Park has also built a reputation for being a mystical place. The people of Chapada are made up of travelers from different parts of Brazil who decided to hang around. So their traveling spirit makes them super welcoming. The calmness of nature combined with the friendly people is almost surreal. It's a destination that will leave you with such a good feeling. The mysticism that surrounds the park is not for nothing. It's believed that under the earth, a massive quartz formation of crystals raises consciousness to higher levels of enlightenment. Indeed, some believe it to be the largest quartz plate in the world!

For those interested in extra-terrestrials, Chapada is the place for you! The national park has more than 40 mystical groups that preach extra-terrestrial life. You can hear many stories about aliens and unidentified flying objects.

Another interesting fact is "Paralelo 14" is an underground line that runs through the earth crossing Alto Paraiso de Goias and Machu Picchu in Peru. This makes people believe that there are underground tunnels running from Brazil to Peru and that the exact location of Paralelo 14 can take people to another dimension via a portal. 
Apart from all these fascinating facts, Chapada has endless waterfalls, hiking trails, and unreal natural landscapes within the national park and surrounding areas. Oh, and did we mention the starriest of nighttime skies?
