Buraco das Araras - Trail and Contemplation
About this tour
Embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of nature at Buraco das Araras. While the wild dictates the exact moment, the vibrant spectacle of scarlet macaws and other wildlife is most active between May and December, their breeding season, transforming the RPPN (Private Natural Heritage Reserve) into a bustling avian paradise. Your adventure begins with a serene, contemplative trail encircling a colossal sinkhole, a breathtaking natural amphitheater carved into the Cerrado. This immense crater, approximately 500 meters in circumference and plunging 100 meters deep, proudly holds the title of South America's largest doline. The 970-meter path leads to two strategically placed viewpoints, offering unparalleled vistas. From these vantage points, witness the unique grandeur of this geological wonder, where the air resonates with the melodic chorus of nearly a hundred scarlet macaws, alongside a myriad of other bird species that call this magnificent doline home. Prepare to be mesmerized by a symphony of colors and sounds that will etch themselves into your memory forever.
