Images from our trip to Capitólio MG
Introduction
Capitólio MG: Who says there's no sea in Minas Gerais? In Capitólio, the Furnas dam has provided the region with gigantic lakes of emerald green water - a real beach for those 600 kilometres from the coast. The scenery is also framed by canyons up to 20 metres high, as well as caves and waterfalls - the Lagoa Azul is the postcard. The best way to appreciate all this is to take a typical seaside holiday: aboard a chalana.
But Capitólio is not all about water rides. On the Sun Trail, a pleasant adventure area, you can practise abseiling and climbing, as well as light hikes that lead to numerous waterfalls, perfect for swimming. With so much water, it's not surprising that the region's gastronomic speciality is fish dishes.
Engenhoda Serra Eco Resort:
The former Engenho de Serra farm has been transformed into a playful and pleasant environment: Engenho da Serra Hotel and Eco Resort. It is located next to the Capitólio dam, which is Brazil's north-south watershed.
On the south side of the dyke, the water flows down the Rio Grande to form Lake Itaipu. On the north side, the water flows down the São Francisco River until it reaches the sea on the border between Sergipe and Alagoas.
Come and celebrate the arrival of 2026 in Capitólio, one of Brazil's most enchanting destinations, with its breathtaking landscapes, cosy atmosphere 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.
