Nestled in the heart of Goiás, Cavalcante is a peaceful town famous for its incredible natural landscapes and waterfalls. Surrounded by the lush vegetation of Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, it's the perfect destination for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those looking to disconnect from the rush of city life. From crystal-clear rivers to traditional local culture, this charming spot offers something for every type of traveler.

A Glimpse into the Past

Once a bustling mining town during the gold rush of the 18th century, Cavalcante holds a rich cultural heritage. Its streets still reflect a blend of African, Indigenous, and Portuguese roots, and the nearby Kalunga communities preserve traditions that date back hundreds of years.

When to Visit

The dry season, from May to September, is ideal for exploring waterfalls and hiking trails, as the paths are more accessible and the weather is sunny. If you visit during the rainy season, from October to April, you’ll find the landscapes greener and the waterfalls at their fullest, but some trails may be muddy or closed.

How do I get to Cavalcante?

The easiest way is to fly into Brasília and rent a car for the scenic drive, which takes about 5 to 6 hours. Bus services are also available from Brasília to Alto Paraíso, with local connections from there.

What are the must-see attractions?

Don’t miss the famous Santa Bárbara Waterfall, nearby Kalunga communities, and the many hiking trails in the Chapada dos Veadeiros region. Guided tours and river swims are highly recommended.

Is it safe for tourists?

Cavalcante is known for being a quiet and welcoming town. Like anywhere, it’s best to follow basic safety precautions, especially on remote hikes.
