Tips

Caminho dos Veadeiros footprints: in the South-North/São Jorge-Capela direction, the footprints are yellow on a black background. In the North-South/Capela-São Jorge direction, the footprints are black on a yellow background. Most of this traverse is on rocky terrain, with some sandier parts. Most of the trail is highly exposed to the sun, as the environment is predominantly Cerrado Rupestre, with variations of grasslands and forest formations. The PNCV charges entrance fees for the protected area, with different prices for foreign and Brazilian visitors, as well as for local residents.

Route

The trail toward Capela, starting from São Jorge, begins at the Visitor Center of the Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros, taking the same trail that leads to the Cânions and the Cachoeira das Cariocas and following the red arrows to the fork on the right (after 4 km) that leads to Capela, Sete Quedas, and Cânion I, on well-marked stretches. From this point on, follow the orange arrows. It is about 8 km to the Boa Sorte campsite, which ends section 1. The second section, 13 km long, begins after the campsite, crossing the Rio Preto. The trail continues for another 7 km to the fork that separates the Sete Quedas trail from the São Jorge x Capela trail. Turning left, you will start following the signs with the Caminho dos Veadeiros footprint, descending the Serra do Santana, with stunning scenery. There are signs marking the end of this section and also the boundary of the PNCV. The third section, 4 km long, begins at this point. Take the dirt road, following the Caminho dos Veadeiros footprints to the Córrego Fiandeiras - a great spot to stop and cool off. Then, continue through pastureland to the boundary between the towns of Colinas do Sul and Cavalcante, turning left onto the road toward the Povoado de Capela.
