Povoado do Moinho · Alto Paraíso de Goiás
A refuge among waterfalls and crystals
The place
The Chapada dos Veadeiros
In the heart of Brazil, about 230 km from Brasília, rises the highest plateau in the center of the country. Crystal-clear rivers, hundreds of waterfalls, exotic birds and ground full of quartz crystal: a land many people feel is sacred.
The National Park was created in 1961, and in 2001 UNESCO declared it a World Natural Heritage Site. It protects around 240,000 hectares of Cerrado, the most biodiverse savanna on the planet and home to the maned wolf, the pampas deer and the jaguar.
Its rocks are more than a billion years old and are among the oldest formations on Earth. Many hold outcrops of quartz crystal, one of the reasons the region draws spiritual seekers from all over the world.
With altitudes of almost 1,700 meters, the nights are cool and the water runs clean all year round. Near the sanctuary there are waterfalls, natural pools and trails that are part of the experience.
