We offer not only a trivial trip to Jalapão, but an experience to mark your life, because each Expedition to Jalapão is luggage for a lifetime.

Also including direct contact with the jalapoeira culture, we foster the local economy, practicing community-based tourism.

THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM selected 10 TOURIST RECEPTIONS in Brazil to participate in the EXPERIENCES DO BRASIL booth at Abav Expo 2019. Among hundreds we were the only one from Tocantins and Jalapão, a recognition of a lot of effort and solid partnerships!
