Colonial streets, Cerrado landscapes and a 300-kilometre literary trail create one of central Brazil’s most distinctive slow-travel destinations.
Why this place
The former state capital, also known as Goiás Velho, is a UNESCO-listed historic city with preserved colonial architecture, museums, religious traditions and strong regional food. It also anchors the Caminho de Cora Coralina, a long-distance walking and cycling route linking historic towns, farms, villages and Cerrado landscapes.
A place should not be reduced to one hero image. These views show different parts of the experience and landscape.
Cora Coralina’s house links the historic town with the writer’s life and work.
