Three days dedicated to an immersive journey into the heart of the Cerrado at Pousada Trijunção, one of Brazil’s most fascinating and least explored biomes. The day begins with an early morning birdwatching excursion, during which guests can observe rare endemic species such as the Horned Sungem, Collared Crescentchest, and Rufous-sided Pygmy-Tyrant. As the sun rises over the vast landscape, expert guides provide insight into the region’s delicate ecosystem, setting the tone for a day of discovery.

Mid-morning adventures lead guests through the breathtaking surroundings, either on scenic trails by foot or bike. The diverse terrain, a mix of open fields and dense vegetation, is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, including giant anteaters and armadillos. This is a chance to witness the Cerrado’s unique beauty up close, with each turn revealing new and unexpected encounters with nature.
