chapada imperial natural reserve

WE hiked for half a day and swam in 5 different waterfalls. This place is gorgeous and the guides are friendly and helpful. The "lunch" (or pre dinner as we had it at 4 in the afternoon) is pretty basic with rice, beans, salad but was exactly what we needed after the hike.

Very clean water, the waterfalls are great and walking is not stenous.. What I disliked - The food is average.. Too simple really but when you come back from a long walk it will be ok ! It was a really good time spent there.

While visiting some friends in Brasilia with my kids and friend we've decide to hike on the Chapada Imperial trails and enjoy the Cerrado of central Brasil. First the drive is short from Brasilia, some nice unpaved roads to arrive to the place and once there it was incredible. An Ara flew and land on the car top and welcome us, some horses and a poney ran nearby, peacocks, parrots and full nature were around us. Mr Antonio welcomed us and proceed to prepare our trip (during the week - call in advance tp reserve). So we've meet Cesar our guide that proceeded to show us the Middle trail (short, middle and long trails are available). With Pedro (another guide) they started guding us throug the reserve and we've started loving the trip more and more. Pure and clean watter meadows, with natural pools where you can swim, flows down besides you when you hike down the crests to the valey. Several Watterfalls are available with idylical lakes to swim. The kids love it and the day was complete with a nice hike up the hill (300M up) to join Mr Antonio and his pick up to drive us back to the main house. Trully a must see and enjoy the nature place

Highley recommended, I went on the full tour which takes in about 15 waterfalls and they are all great, take your swimming costume because you can go for a swim in some of them. The walk back however is very hard and all uphill so be prepared !!!

The place is just outside Brasilia, but the roads to get there are so horrible it feels like a journey.Organisation is smooth, the guide knows the names of a couple of trees and waits while adults and kids splash in 2 very nice natural pools.Apart from a couple of lizards I didn't see any animals or birds.Paths are adequate, with wooden steps and platforms and a few benches where needed.Then they ferry you back in a WW II grade truck, to a very simple lunch, to put it mildly.All this for about the same price as an entry ticket to Disneyland... Not the best value in my view.

This is an absolutely awesome experience! I am not much of a nature person, but hiking and swimming in the waterfalls here was incredible. All of the hikes are guided and it is a great experience for a solo or group activity. The hike is not difficult though there is a lot of going up and down, it is a not a flat path by any means. The ending is the most difficult because it is a steeper climb to the top. But there is a truck that waits for you at the end to take you back, so you can rest before lunch.

I loved the place! Trails, nature, animals, nice guides, good service! A NICE WAY TO BE AROUND NATURE NEAR BRASILIA.

Just 40 minutes from downtown Brasilia, Chapada Imperial is a true hiking and diving experience within the Cerrado's original flora and fauna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerrado). Beautiful views, hills, lakes, pits, and waterfalls. You have different options of hiking being the longest one 4 hours (about 4 km/2.5 miles). Even on your way back inside an old truck (fun!) the viewing of the horizon is absolutely gorgeous. And after all the hiking/climbing/swimming effort you are rewarded with a delicious Galinhada (rice with chicken), a traditional local dish. The hiking is always guided and the pace is for kids and the elderly.

Propriedade particular aberta para visitação ofertando atividades turísticas rurais e naturais é um ponto bem interessante para fugir do cotidiano da capital. Atendimento bom e cordial pela família de proprietários.

Com mais de 15 cachoeiras e boa infraestrutura, tem trilhas para os níveis fácil, intermediário e avançado, que variam de acordo com o tempo e dificuldade. Todas as visitas são guiadas e com número restrito. Faça sua reserva antecipadamente e confira as condições de acesso, feito em parte por uma estrada de terra. Prepare sua câmera para lindas cachoeiras e muita natureza.

Encontra-se dentro de uma fazenda que cuida de animais em recuperação para retorno a seu habitat... Necessário telefonar para fazer reserva de grupo, pois têm passeios e infra estrutura de alimentação. Trilhas e cachoeiras são o encanto do local, além de área de lazer pra criançada. Comida caseira e de preço justo.

Q chapada fica próximo a Brasília com fácil acesso por estrada pavimentada e ao entrar na reserva uma longa estrada de terra batida que na seca qualquer carro passa facilmente, possui muitos animais da região como araras, as trilhas são boas e sempre vai um guia mostrando as atividades, são diversas paradas para banho nas quedas d'Água, o almoço está incluso na diária e feito logo ao terminar a trilha.

para quem gosta de caminhadas e trilhas dentro da natureza é uma ótima opção. Há 3 tipos de trilhas de acordo com o nível de dificuldade - a de maior duração é realmente "pesada", mas se você não tiver problemas físicos vale a pena faze-la.

Já visitei esse lugar umas 03 vezes. Todas foram fantásticas. As trilhas são ótimas! Contato com a natureza realmente renovador. O almoço oferecido por eles é uma delícia. A caminhada é longa. Levar filtro solar e lanchinhos é essencial. Eu ia novamente no carnaval/15 mas eles "enfiaram a faca" no valor. De 90,00 subiram para 150,00. Achei abusivo! Mas, de qualquer forma, pretendo voltar muitas outras vezes. O acesso é tranquilo. Basta seguir o mapa do site deles. Dá para tirar lindas fotos!

O parque é lindo, tem cachoeiras e uma natureza perfeita. Quando visitei estava com criança e optamos por fazer uma trilha fácil, mas isso não diminuiu a beleza do passeio.
