Jalapão is a WONDER! A unique journey full of adventure, scenery and nature. - From the beginning to the end, everything was organized in detail. We feel comfortable and happy at all times. The landscapes that we travel through Jalapão, are totally beautiful and unique. Each landscape is different, as being a 'closed' biome, it has a diversity of landscapes, from dunes that look like deserts, landscapes that look like the savanna, to jungle. The most exclusive thing about Jalapão are the "Fervedouros", which are unique throughout the world. And there's not just one, there's almost 20! The local community (Quilombola) is DIRECTLY related to Jalapão, it is undoubtedly ESSENTIAL to know its culture, customs, ways of life to have a comprehensive travel experience. Touring Jalapão without knowing them, is a shallow and even empty route. We were ALWAYS welcomed with open arms, with incredible hospitality and an appreciation to the tourist that you will not meet anywhere else. REALLY cultural exchange is one of the essential pillars of the trip. We shared an amazing group and a super professional guide, Hugo, who accompanied us on this wonderful journey. Whatever you were asking, Hugo had a concrete answer, he knows a lot about the local community, Jalapão, fauna and flora. Everywhere we went, I was amazed at his connection with the local people. Hugo is certainly a super professional and dedicated guide, we are very grateful for everything. Finally, I would like to stress that very few agencies have this link with the local community. The same quilombolas (original community) told us this: only 3 or 4 agencies link up with them, know their customs, their way of life. I wanted to highlight the excellent work of the Jalapão Expedições team, for offering tourism that includes all aspects of the region. I would definitely choose them once and a thousand times!

Amazing!!! Super recommended - One of the best experiences I could have lived. All the scenery was beautiful, out of a dream, and the treatment, both from our guide Hugo and from each place we visited was excellent. Very happy to have hired this company, as we were able to live ancestral cultural experiences and know every detail of the place, from explanations of names, plants to traditions, and it is really valuable that they give work and spaces so that culture and respect for nature can continue to be maintained and not focus on taking the photo for social networks. I have no regrets and highly recommend it!

Amazing experience in nature - Thanks to Hugo and the Jalapão Expediciones team we had an incredible experience. The organization is perfect, they pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel, where the next morning their car will be waiting for you to start the tour. From there on it's a sequence of amazing places: Canyon, Fervedoro, Dune, all breathtaking places that far exceeded my expectations. Even simple moments in the car allow you to see beautiful landscapes, and Hugo always has an anecdote or explanation for everything; about how the rock formations you are seeing were created, the biomes you are seeing and what influences them, and so on. Then don't expect a formal experience where you just follow an itinerary to the letter. Hugo was great at proposing small changes so as to avoid peak times in some places, and this allowed us to enjoy some amazing places in total solitude. Finally, the experiences with local communities, are the icing on the cake of an all-round experience of Ecotourism.

Paradise!! - Jalapão is simply wonderful, with no words to describe the natural beauty there! The Jalapão Expeditions managed to make the experience even better with our dear guide, Hugo, who brought so much information about the region and also fun for our tour! Not to mention that he is an excellent bilingual guide.

Jalapão, untouchable nature - They say "Jalapão is raw", but Jalapão is a multiplicity of meanings. Diverse untouchable nature, people, communities. The experience with Jalapão Expeditions was note 10, highlighting the front line in the person of the guide Naldo. Transportation between attractions requires some preparation and adventure taste, since the roads are not paved and can chacoal a lot.

Go alone - A short experience, but one that marked my visit to the first northern state I visited, I returned home with my heart wanting to stay longer! The entire itinerary proposed by Jalapão expeditions is impeccable, in conversation with other travelers I felt very sure about choosing the company! Even days before the trip started, I was only confirmed on the expedition and they guaranteed that it would happen. The guide, Naldo, was impeccable with the photos, explanations, patience and partnership during these days, just thanks to him! I emphasize that I went as a solo traveler, and it was the best experience I had traveling through BR!
