Weather in Chapada dos Veadeiros
Chapada dos Veadeiros
It is hard not to associate chapada dos veadeiros, set in the wastelands of the state of Goiás, to the word mysticism. There are explanations to that. One of them is its mountainous nature, crossed by Parallel 14, the same as Machu Picchu's, the Incas' sacred city in Peru. Also, the fact the region sits on an immense depository of quartz crystal, turning the place, according to experts, into one of the world's largest energy centers. The relationship of Chapada dos Veadeiros with mysticism started in 1957, when a group of people from the state of Pernambuco, “on a spiritual mission”, landed there to found an Esperanto school, Bona Espero Farm. Six years later, Oscal, a spiritist organization from Minas Gerais based on Allan Kardec's principles, set up in its Cidade da Fraternidade the region (Fraternity City - which had 400 residents). In 1980, the Encontro Nacional de Comunidades Rurais (Rural Communities' National Summit) chose Alto Paraíso as a headquarters of sorts of those organizations. Starting there, the consolidation of Chapada's mystic aura only grew. Today, Alto Paraíso is regarded as Brazil's mysticism capital. Between one meditation and the next, it is possible to be dazzled by the canyons, rock faces, crystalline water rivers, natural pools and waterfalls in the Chapada National Park, whose point of access is Vila de São Jorge.
