Images from our trip to Capitólio MG
Introduction
Capitólio MG: Who said there is no sea in Minas? In Capitólio, the Furnas dam gifted the region with gigantic emerald-green lakes - a true beach for those 600 kilometers from the coast. The scenery is framed by canyons that reach up to 20 meters in height, as well as caves and waterfalls - the one at Blue Lagoon is the postcard. To appreciate the whole, the best option is to take a typical resort boat ride.
But Capitólio is not just about water activities. On the Trail of the Sun, a pleasant adventure space, it is possible to practice rappelling and climbing, as well as light walks that lead to numerous waterfalls, perfect for bathing. With so much water, it is no surprise that the region's culinary specialty is fish-based dishes.
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.
Come celebrate the arrival of 2026 in Capitólio, one of the most enchanting destinations in Brazil, with breathtaking landscapes, a welcoming climate, and vibrant energy.

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 cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten per cent)
- When the cancellation occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen per cent)
- When the cancellation occurs between 20 (twenty) and 01 (one) days before the date of departure: 30% (thirty per cent)
- If the passenger does not show up at the time and place scheduled for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five per cent) will be charged.
In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee bookings, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, and is 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 transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.
For both road and air excursions, date transfers or refunds for unused sections will not be permitted.
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.
