The journey
This is one of the clearest inland alternatives to Brazil’s better-known coastal routes. Brasília starts with architecture and planned-city scale, Pirenópolis makes the journey smaller and more historic, and Chapada dos Veadeiros then opens the landscape completely with several days of nature; the all-road sequence also means the contrast comes from the places themselves rather than repeated airport transfers.
