RioPreto - Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park

There's a national park, which has an area with 65,515 hectares with plenty of great landscapes, gorgeous waterfalls and lakes and is sought after by many travellers in search of true contact with nature.

Chapada dos Veadeiros - Map

São Jorge is a small village right in front of the national park's entrance. It lacks infrastructure like asphalt roads and public illumination and the intent is to leave the region around the park pretty much as it is, in order not to disturb it's fauna and flora. Even though it might sound uncomfortable for some, that's what makes the small village special. There you really feel you're somewhere mankind hasn't dominated yet, and there you can really experience Chapada.

Alto Paraíso is a small city which is about 20 km (12.4 miles) from the national park's entrance. Differently from São Jorge, it is a city with normal public illumination, asphalt roads and so on. You will find there more options for sleeping and eating.

Beyond the national park and the region has other attractions inside private properties such as the Moon Valley and the Almécegas waterfalls which are situated nearby São Jorge, being accessible through the payment of a daily fee.

The Chapada region is also a magnet for mystics attracted by the alleged properties of the its crystal soil and rumored UFO appearances.

Rumor has it that, according to NASA and the Chapada is Earth's brightest point as seen from space. Lying on a quartz crystal bed, it's said to reflect light like a mirror.

History

The national park was created in 1961.

Landscape===

Flora and fauna

Cerrado is the predominant kind of vegetation. The trees are low and curved, and the vegetation is ground-high. It is similar to the Savana vegetation in Africa.

Cerrado wildlife, including orchids, buritis and many threatened animal species such as the pampa deer, swamp deer, jaguars, guará wolves, rheas, crested seriemas, tapitis (small hare-like rodents), giant armadillos, great anteaters, capybaras, tapirs, red-breasted toucans, king vultures and black vultures.

How is the Climate in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park

Chapada’s climate is tropical, hot and semi-arid. The average annual temperature is around 25°C (77°F). The National Park is closed to the public during the rainy season (December to February). During the rest of the year it is mostly sunny and hot. At the height of the dry season (September) and the temperature can peak at 40°C (104°F).

In the beginning of the year the climate is very humid, and it rains pretty much everyday. It is very dangerous to be close to a waterfall during bad weather, so, avoid visiting the area during those days.

After May and the rain ceases and the climate turns almost desertic. There's a six-month period with almost no rain at all and it gets pretty dry and hot, as you can imagine (what makes the waterfalls even better!). In that sense and the best period for visiting is between June and July, because the probability of raining is very low, and the waterfalls still have plenty of water. After that, it is still worth seeing it, but the waterfalls won't be as good because they start running low on water (no and they never get dry).
