Day 1: Cuiabá Airport - Chapada dos Guimarães
After baggage claim at the airport, our tour guide will wait with a sign with your name on it. You drive about 70km to the town of Chapada dos Guimarães. The village of Chapada is located north-east of Cuiabá and has about 16,000 inhabitants. The village is situated on a rocky plateau, 836 metres above sea level. Gorges, table mountains, caves, rivers and waterfalls are part of this impressive landscape. After the Amazon region in the north of the state of Mato Grosso and the Pantanal, this Table Mountain is the third ecosystem in this region, which is unique in the world.
Check-in at the Pousada, in Chapada. Lunch depends on arrival at the airport. After lunch you drive to the Mirante lookout, from where you have a beautiful view over the countryside. Mirante is also the geographical centre of South America. You will enjoy a short hike in the Table Mountain. Afterwards you will visit other attractions (rock sculptures, small waterfalls etc.) in this area. These excursions depend on the opening hours of the facilities, which are constantly changing and cannot be planned in advance. In the evening return to Chapada and dinner. Rest of the evening at your leisure. Overnight stay in the Pousada.
