Introduction

Canyons of CapitolioCapitólio MG: Who said there is no sea in Minas? In Capitólio, the Furnas dam blessed the region with gigantic emerald green lakes - a true beach for those who are 600 kilometers from the coast. The scenery is framed by canyons that reach 20 meters in height, as well as caves and waterfalls - the Lagoa Azul is the postcard. To appreciate the whole, the best option is to take a typical resort ride: aboard a chalana.

But Capitólio is not just about water activities. On the Trilha do Sol, a pleasant adventure space, it is possible to practice rappelling and climbing, as well as light hikes that lead to numerous waterfalls, perfect for bathing. With so much water, it's no surprise that the region's culinary specialty is fish-based dishes. The traíras and tilapias are prepared even as barbecue. The traditional caipira chicken is also a hit, after all, Capitólio "has a sea," but it is still in Minas! Source: website feriasbrasil

Engenho da Serra Eco Resort: The old Engenho de Serra farm has been transformed into a playful and pleasant environment: The Engenho da Serra Hotel and Eco Resort. It is located next to the dam of Capitólio, which is the north-south water divider of Brazil. On the south side of the dam, the water flows through the Rio Grande until it forms the Itaipu Lake. On the north side, the water flows through the Rio São Francisco until it reaches the sea at the border of Sergipe with Alagoas.Engenho da Serra Hotel & EcoResort

Marvel at this ecological environment, close to tourist attractions such as the Furnas Lake, Escarpas do Lago, Morro do Chapéu, and the Serra da Canastra National Park. The hotel offers several options for entertainment and leisure such as: swimming pool, sports court, soccer field, game room, gym, ecological walking trails, boat rides, lakes for sport fishing, and much more.

Important Notes

The information below covers part of what is set out in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.

Withdrawals, Transfers and Cancellations by the client

The CONTRACTED PARTY shall refund the amount due to the Client, calculated on the total amount actually received by the Contractor, excluding the amount of commission withheld, which must be dealt with by the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.

in the event of any of the above occurring, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tour package, in the following proportion:

  • When the withdrawal occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
  • When the withdrawal occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen percent)
  • When the withdrawal occurs between 20 (twenty) and 01 (one) days before the date of departure: 30% (thirty percent)
  • If the passenger does not show up at the time and place scheduled for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five percent) will be charged.

In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, being in temporary possession of the amounts received, because it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transportation, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.

For both road and air tours, it is not permitted to transfer dates or refund unused sections.

Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has begun, passengers who abandon it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for services paid for and not used.
