The Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park is, according to NASA, Earth’s brightest point as seen from space.
Lying on a bedrock area of 300km of crystal quartz, it’s said to reflect light like a mirror. It is the heart chakra of Brazil.
Picture yourself hiking through the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park in a trail of pink quartz, crossing a valley at one of the oldest surface formations of the planet, with hundreds of waterfalls.
There’s a mystical vibe and unique energy that may be associated with the crystals in this area, which gained attention not only for their natural beauty and spiritual significance but also for reported UFO sightings -maybe you’ll get to see one during our Astronomical observation tour.
