I really liked to dive with snorkel and dive mask, which I carried, in rivers with stones avoid getting hurt! - The tour guides have a great mood, they were always very polite, they are calm, they never spoke out loud, otherwise they are not spoken in a moderate tone, like other guides I saw during the tours, unlike many other guides in other places I have visited!

Overcoming challenges. - It was amazing! From the first information about the packages to the return home, perfect. I confess that I had to pass the base of medications because of Kinetosis, but everyone had patience and I managed to overcome.

Unforgettable - Quiet and safe trip, where everything went as planned. The only suggestion and give more time in the coffee time of the first day, restaurant opens at 6:30 hs and departure to the Jalapão 6:45 hs.

You are a step from paradise with the Jalapão Expeditions - I made the best trip of my life with this agency! I feel that I will never have enough words to describe what this expedition is for Jalapão and thank the whole team, especially Naldera, who was a very patient guide, is a very wise, kind guy, and the best photographer of the trip😄. Naldera has such extensive knowledge about the region, from what comes from nature to the communities that formed there, and taught me a lot! Jalapão is not only what we see beautiful in the photos, it has a lot of history, many important communities, many animals, a lot of nature besides the boilers, and the best food in Brazil!! I think I will never be able to explain in words what I was feeling living in that place. This trip touched me very much, in a way that I did not feel anywhere else, and this feeling is very special to me! I thank everyone for providing me with all this. Henry and Michelle, thank you for everything! They are always present with us, virtually, giving us all the necessary assistance and worry about how things are going. Jalapão has my heart thanks to you ❤️

Tocantins is amazing! - It was wonderful, I really am between not having words and having many at the same time. Jalapão goes far beyond the fervedours. It was an amazing journey, it surprised me in many ways, I learned a lot that I had no knowledge of, things that I didn’t even think of before and saw here. The guide Naldera was very kind and is a very wise Cover, taught us too much. I am fascinated with everything I have lived and learned. We had experiences with residents of the region, we knew stories of incredible people, we had contact with things that would not be possible if it wasn’t a trip with the agency. This sustainable work of being present in communities in the region supporting work and strengthening families is very important and made all the difference. It is an experience that I will take to life and share with everyone who goes through my life.

Hugo Soares and his brother Lucas, were a surprise apart. Attentive and attentive, very well-formed - The organization was impeccable, as well as the Processing that the guides dispensed for all members of the expedition. Well trained, safe to handle all matters relating to travel and informed not only about attractions, but the landscape, its characteristics and formation and about its people and their habits and sigularities. Really very good. High season and, consequently, many attractions with long waiting times, but the guide knew how to handle our expectations and anxieties, always sought after and kind. The experiences, a babaçu break and 2 quilombolas communities, gave us the opportunity to know the hard life and the hard achievements achieved by these people, always kind and willing to share their experiences Regarding the attractions, we could see that even being apparently arduous nature always surprises in a wonderful way Finally, an unforgettable experience that Jalapão Expediciones Ecoturismo facilitated us in an excellent way
