    Save team Jalapão Expeditions. Happy to have chosen to do this expedition with vcs. Tocantins is too surprising, the bioma is very diverse, everything very striking. In addition to the importance that the agency gives to the rescue and valuation of historical and cultural, provoking tourists the access to know more of the customs, traditions and beliefs of the peoples of the region. It is also worth emphasizing the professionalism we have with us in appointments, schedules, comfort and well-being. Success to you, big hug. I hope to come back...

    It was a really amazing journey. In it we did trails, rapel, tirolese, rafting and visited boilers, waterfalls, lagoons and other scenarios that seemed to be made by Artificial Intelligence. It was 7 days of immersion in the natural beauties, the stories and the lives of the Kilombola communities, and the entire team of Jalapão Expediciones through Henrique, Michele, Luiz, Ourinho (Irawilson) and Lucas were essential for the experience to be the best possible. Henrique and Michele always attentive and helpful to take questions and guide us in the best way possible, Luiz very kind and professional, while Ourinho and Lucas well prepared, with a lot of professionalism and knowledge of the place led us to the attractions at the best times thus avoiding a crowded place or with queues, all were very partner and focused on the best possible experience for me and my wife. I recommend Jalapão Expeditions, I am sure you will have the best experience of Jalapão with them.

  • Great experience in Jalapão

    Tours, guide and the differential of experiences were great. It is worth investing in more experiences. Our guide and driver Naldo had a lot of knowledge, patience and kindness. The car should be in better condition, despite having taken us safely, without unforeseen.

    Amazing experience, from the first day. The packages make the journey much easier as we don’t have to worry about anything. The experiences make all the difference, they allowed us to connect not only with the places and nature, but also with the communities and their stories! Guides Ouro and Lucas were wonderful, super attentive, let us feel good and even took amazing photos of our tours. Super recommend!

    We went in family, together with friends, what was really missing, was the guides get stuck, combining the sequence of the tours, because a lot could be solved in a simpler way and without stress

    I traveled for the first time to the Tocantins with my family and the experience could not have been better!! Beautiful landscapes, amazing adventures (rapel, trail, waterfalls, rafting, tyrolese) and great experiences in the local communities. Super comfortable guesthouses and lunch and talk wheels in the communities were a caress apart. I am especially grateful to the guides Irawilson and Lucas who accompanied us during the 6 days. And also the transfer of Luiz at the reception and Michelle who gave us all the support we needed. Indicative of closed eyes!!!

  • Unique and amazing experience

    I traveled with Jalapão Expeditions in 2022 and now again with my family in 2025. Always impeccable both in the script and in the organization! I sincerely thank you for your affection for me and my family. It was 6 days of an unforgettable experience. Breathtaking landscapes and unique experiences in local communities. The guides Irawilson and Lucas were amazing in the day-to-day with us, always willing, super partners and good photographers. Transfer Luiz from a sympathy only! I had to arrive a day later on the expedition for personal matters and took me from Palmas to the nearby town so I could meet my group and follow the journey. Michelle and Henrique are also always willing to help us and encouraging the group of the trip! I recommend everyone to meet Tocantins with this amazing agency! I'd do it all a thousand times ❤️

    I want to express my deepest gratitude to Jalapão Expeditions, to the entire team for making this trip so special and transformative. Every place we visited gained more meaning through the stories, curiosities and respect that our guide Hugo conveyed through his knowledge. I carry with me not only amazing memories, but a new way of relating to the natural world. This experience will be marked forever. Thank you 🙏🏻! See you next time!
