Rafting in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park

Rafting in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park

Join us for a rafting adventure in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, where we'll descend 5 different rapids. We will meet at 10 am at Rua Borba Gato in Cavalcante. After a safety briefing, participants will put on helmets, vests, and other rafting equipment.

Next, we'll prepare the rafts and embark on a 14-kilometer (8.7-mile) route down the river, navigating through various streams and overcoming five rapids, including the exhilarating Funil do Paranã rapid.

Midway through the trip, we will take a break to rest and enjoy a dip in the river. Afterward, we will continue paddling until we reach the native Kalunga community, where we will visit a community member's house.

There, we will be served a typical Kalunga lunch featuring local products such as rice, beans, pasta, farofa, salad, fried plantain, cassava, chicken, and free-range eggs.

Post-lunch, we will visit the Tia Lió Kalunga Memorial and converse with matriarch Lia Procópia, who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy of the Quilombo Kalunga territory.

The tour will conclude with a return walk to the meeting point in Cavalcante, arriving at approximately 4 pm.
