Jalapão
$750 per person
Jalapão is an enchanting place, with its endless landscapes of unexplored cerrado, sandy roads that make you feel like you are taking part in a real rally. Although the closest beach is hundreds of miles away, Jalapão has dunes and fine sand. Thanks to the action of the winds and the erosion of the sandstone rocks that form the Serra do Espírito Santo. These 40-meter-high walls of fine orange sand have settled in the middle of the Tocantinense savannah in a unique phenomenon of unparalleled beauty, which provides a show of colors every hour of the day.
The journey begins in Palmas, the capital of Tocantins. We will pick you up directly from your hotel to start the trip to Jalapão. The first day is primarily a road trip, with a few stops along the way to take pictures and enjoy the scenery.
We recommend arriving in Tocantins at least one day before the trip and staying in a hotel to rest, ensuring you can begin the adventure the next day with full energy.
