Vale da Lua
Aninhado na região da Chapada do Veados, o Vale da Lua oferece uma experiência verdadeiramente notável, um cenário que parece ter sido esculpido por outro mundo. Frequentemente comparado à lua devido às suas distintas formações rochosas curvas, esta área é o resultado de inúmeros anos de erosão pela incessante corrente do Rio São Miguel. Estas antigas rochas, algumas das mais antigas do nosso planeta, são uma fascinante mistura de quartzo e arenito, apresentando uma paleta de cinzas e beges que contrastam dramaticamente com as claras e cristalinas piscinas e cachoeiras em queda livre espalhadas por todo o lugar.
O poder erosivo da água criou uma deslumbrante variedade de crateras e formas incomuns, revelando a incrível história geológica deste local. Embora a viagem para chegar ao vale possa envolver a travessia de algumas estradas acidentadas – particularmente a estrada de acesso à área de estacionamento – a trilha relativamente curta e acessível ao coração do Vale da Lua vale a pena o esforço. Você descobrirá uma série de piscinas naturais, perfeitas para um mergulho refrescante em meio a tal paisagem deslumbrante.
O feedback recente dos visitantes destaca uma experiência mista, com alguns elogiando a beleza e a tranquilidade únicas, enquanto outros expressam preocupações sobre a infraestrutura e a gestão da capacidade. É importante estar ciente de que a taxa de entrada atualmente é de 50 euros, e alguns visitantes notaram a falta de instalações proporcionais a este custo. Apesar destas observações, o Vale da Lua permanece um destino de considerável beleza natural e interesse geológico – um lugar para se conectar com o poder e a arte da natureza, e para apreciar um canto verdadeiramente singular de Portugal.

The rock formations make the place feel like you ARE in the moon! The dry season gives more opportunities for entering the caves which is prohibited during the wet season for safety reasons. Highly recommended.
After thoroughly researching the waterfalls and trails in Chapada dos Veadeiros, I was genuinely torn about whether or not to visit Vale da Lua. It’s one of the most talked-about spots in the region, and naturally, expectations were high. However, I left with mixed feelings. While the rock formations shaped over millennia are visually striking, the overall visitor experience left much to be desired — especially considering the entrance fee, which is relatively high for what is offered. What many travelers might not know beforehand is that several natural attractions in the region, including Vale da Lua, are located on private land. That alone isn’t necessarily a problem — as long as the management offers value in return. In this case, however, there is virtually no infrastructure, no educational or environmental interpretation, and no visible oversight or preservation efforts at the site. The trail is short and accessible, but beyond the views, there’s little to enhance the experience or justify the cost. Nature in its purest form is priceless, and while it’s understandable that maintenance comes at a cost, visitors deserve more than just access — they deserve care, information, and basic facilities that protect both them and the environment. Sadly, I saw no trash bins, no guides, and no clear signage. If you’re seeking a more meaningful connection with nature, I recommend exploring the many free or lower-cost trails in the area. These often provide not only richer immersion but also more solitude and authenticity, far from the “Instagram-only” experiences. Chapada dos Veadeiros is full of incredible natural beauty — you just have to know where to look beyond the hype.
This place is very unique and strongly recommended for a special experience. This is so different from most places I've seen! The rock formation, the color, and the scenery are breathtaking! 40 reas to enter! Hitchhiking is very easy in this city, even from Alto Paraiso. It took me 5 min to hop in a ride as there is no bus transportation (i heard of one but everyone Hitchhikes). Taxi can be costly there. Every fall cost 40 reas, including the 3 or 4 miradors. So, be ready to spend to access these places. I preferred Salto Curumbo (south of Brasilia as it had 5 amazing waterfalls, a waterpark, and 3 swimming pool for 65 reas). See and follow my other reviews for pics.
This is the closest I'll ever get to being on the moon without actually being there 😆. The natural rock formations is stunning and lots of opportunities for cool pictures. There are crevices/caves in the water area that are cool to explore if you have a tour guide or someone that knows where to go. It can be quite claustrophobic/scary if you're not comfortable with enclosed spaces and/or swimming.
40 real for entrance in low season, but only pix or cash . Pretty short trail but very interesting and unusual. It is really like the moon surface
