Camping Refúgio da Seriema

Come prepped for hikes galore… In the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park (five minutes’ drive) there are some excellent sights that are best reached on foot. Perhaps a climb to the Morro dos Ventos viewpoint (15 minutes’ drive) to look down from above, or a stroll through the Cidade de Pedra canyon (half an hour) to turn sights in the upward direction. Waterfalls are big news around here, too: take to the paths to seek out the Cachoeirinha dos Namorados waterfalls (five minutes), or follow the Águas do Cerrado waterfall trail (an hour). If you simply can’t resist diving into fresh water, there’s a natural pool to take a dip in at Estância Fênix (five minutes). If you’re moving on or craving a bit of city time, take a trip to colonial Cuiabá (55 minutes), where there are museums and a zoo to visit, plus parks to wander around should you decide to seek a bit of shade.
