Like all the other reviewers, I only toured one component of this post, Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park. It is definitely more accessible than the Emas National Park and, judging by the photos, also much more interesting. Chapada dos Veadeiros is situated about 3 hours of a decent road from Brasilia.

The entrance to the park is located in Sao Jorge, halfway from Alto Paraiso de Goias to Colinas do Sul, where we spent the night. By the way, in Sao Jorge itself I saw a lot of pousadas, although none of them were available on booking.com on the day of our arrival. Although the park is open from 8.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m., you can only enter it from 8.00 a.m. to 12.00 It is guarded very strictly, we saw a frustrated traveler who was withdrawn from the park's gate at 12:15. All this so that travelers choosing specific routes have time to cover them and return to the entrance before the park is closed. The entrance to the park requires a fee - 36 reais, if I remember correctly. At the Visitors Center you can get everything you need for the hike – water, snacks, clothes, sunscreen etc. Sun protection is very important as the cerrado is covered with a thin forest and sometimes gives little shade. Each traveler must watch the instructional video and listen to the guide's instructions. Hiring a guide is not necessary and it does not make much sense now - the routes are well marked, and there is even LTE Internet everywhere! As Stanisław mentioned, the two most popular routes are the waterfalls trail and the canyons trail. Both, however, are very demanding and I was afraid that my 5-year-old daughter might not be able to stand them. Fortunately, you can also make a shorter route to the rapids (Corredeiros) and back. The route is approx. 7 km long and can be walked slowly in 3 hours. It is not very demanding, although the 33-degree heat was a pain for us. The route is interesting, here we also passed all types of cerrado, collected quartz crystals and watched parrots passing by from time to time. The rapids themselves are very picturesque and you can swim there - which is what most local tourists do.

It is worth adding that the vicinity of the park is packed with great attractions - hot springs, huge waterfalls or caves (see, for example, Lapa Terra Ronca, 5 hours from the park), etc. You can easily spend even a week there without getting bored. We only visited Vale da Lua recommended by Stanisław, located near the entrance to the park - a fantastic place and an absolute must see.
