Introduction

Canyons of CapitolioCapitólio 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 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 tour: aboard a chalana.

But Capitólio is not just about water activities. On the Trilha do Sol, a pleasant adventure space, you can practice rappelling and climbing, as well as light hikes 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. Traíras and tilápias are prepared even as barbecue. The traditional free-range 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 spots such as the Furnas Lake, Escarpas do Lago, Morro do Chapéu, and the Serra da Canastra National Park. The hotel offers various options for entertainment and leisure such as: swimming pool, sports court, soccer field, game room, gym, ecological walking trails, boat rides, fishing lakes, and much more.

Important Notes

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

Cancellations, Transfers, and Customer Cancellations

The CONTRACTED PARTY will reimburse the Contractor the amount due, calculated on the total actually received by the Contracted Party, excluding the amount of the commission retained, which should be dealt with the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.

In the occurrence of any of the mentioned hypotheses, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tourist package, in the following proportion:

  • When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the departure date of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
  • When the cancellation occurs 29 (twenty-nine) to 21 (twenty-one) days before the departure date of the trip: 15% (fifteen percent)
  • When the cancellation occurs 20 (twenty) to 1 (one) day before the departure date of the trip: 30% (thirty percent)

In addition to the fees and penalties described above, amounts already paid to suppliers for securing reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contracted Party is only an intermediary in the hiring of tourist services, holding the received amounts temporarily, as it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, maritime, 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 segments will not be allowed.

Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has started, the passenger who abandons it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for paid and unused services.
