Brasília's public modernist core and Pirenópolis' heritage streets lead into Alto Paraíso and the São Jorge gateway. The final day uses one currently open public national-park circuit, with fire, flood, admission and trail conditions checked before entry.
Brasília, Pirenópolis & Chapada dos Veadeiros is a 416 km one-way journey (staffed road transport). It works best as a 5-day trip; the plan below is the 5-day version for July, built from 155 verified places, with planned transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.
