Drive

We left Brasília around 5:30am and didn’t encounter any traffic on our way. We were also blessed with a great sun rise.

The journey from Brasília until Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park was around 3 hous long. And the landscape is amazing.

Visitation to the national park is only possible during the dry season because when the river is not dry the walk is impossible.

Some rivers doesn’t get complitely dry and their water is cold, great combination for the walk on a very warm day.
