Tourism across the Chapadas: Natural connections between Veadeiros and Mesas
Nava Expeditions is a bridge between two treasures of the Brazilian Cerrado: Chapada dos Veadeiros (GO) and Chapada das Mesas (MA). More than trips, we design mindful journeys that connect people to nature and local cultures.
In Veadeiros, visitors find quartz fields, canyons and waters that shine under the central plateau sun. In Mesas, the Cerrado transforms: red soil contrasts with deep-blue pools, millenary rock formations and the warm hospitality of Maranhão.
Our itineraries honor each place's natural rhythm — guided hikes, lodging integrated with the landscape, and communities that keep the Cerrado's spirit alive. Every expedition is an invitation to experience the essentials while respecting nature's pace.
Plan your next immersion with Nava and discover a Brazil where nature still speaks loudly.
