Rafting in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park

We'll meet up at 10 am at Rua Borba Gato in Cavalcante. After learning the safety rules, we'll equip ourselves with helmets, vests, and other rafting equipment.

Then, we'll prepare the rafts and set off down the river in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park. We'll float down several rivers and streams along the 14-kilometer (8.7-mile) route and overcome a total of five rapids, with the Funil do Paranã rapid being particularly exhilarating.

Halfway through the trip, we'll dock the rafts for a rest and take a refreshing dip in the river. After this, we'll resume paddling until we reach the native Kalunga community and visit the home of a community member.

Here, they will provide us with a typical Kalunga lunch, featuring local products such as rice, beans, pasta, farofa, salad, fried plantain, cassava, chicken, and free-range eggs.

After lunch, we will visit the Tia Lió Kalunga Memorial and discuss with matriarch Laia Procópia, who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her defense of the Quilombo Kalunga territory.

Finally, we will walk back to the meeting point in Cavalcante, arriving at approximately 4 pm.
