In this episode Alexandre takes us to the state of Goias in Brazil and the national park of Chapada dos Veadieros (the Deer Plateau) with its moon like landscapes, sweeping canyons and dry cerrado. We start in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia and give a brief overview of the sites and monuments. From there our journey takes us north, three hours by car, to the town of Alto Paraiso (high paradise). This town features numerous crystals unique to the area, cascading waterfalls and numerous UFO sightings. The area has a reputation as being a destination for hippies and nature enthusiasts alike.  Alexandre's cafe, Chapada Chill, is a must visit in Sao Jorge with its healthy food options, craft beer, artisanal cachaça and live music. From Sao Jorge you can easily access the Moon Valley, the secret waterfall and the Santos Trail inside the park itself featuring a 120 and 80 meter waterfall respectively. Be sure to loop in this stunning park to your next Brazilian adventure!

Fun fact: Brazil is the largest producer of sugar in the world.
