This trip will take you to a very special place in Brazil – the land of waterfalls. You will swim in clear natural pools and bask in nature. As the chapada is located close to Brasília, we recommend that you also take in the architectural masterpieces of the capital. The trip is designed for travellers who like hiking, but there is a good pace offering both walking and relaxation. The waterfalls are usually hidden at the end of the trails, so one can always take a dip in the fresh relaxing waters. Chapada dos Veadeiros is good to visit year round. In June there is an amazing festival called Encontro de Culturas which we highly recommend.

The Bike Tour of the JK Memorial and Praça dos Cristais will take the tourist to ride in the Civic-Administrative Zone of the capital. The JK Memorial is an important work designed by Oscar Niemeyer and houses a museum and a burial chamber where the remains of Juscelino Kubitschek, former president of Brazil and founder of the city of Brasília, are located. It's a great place to learn the history of Kubitschek and our capital. By bike we cover circuits impossible for other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different. Attention: although our bike tours are eminently urban, we enter one or another building and on Mondays some of the buildings we visit are not open to the public. They are closed for cleaning and maintenance. It is the case of the JK Memorial
