Package holiday to Goiânia

Goiânia is the capital of the Brazilian state of Goiás and one of the youngest major cities in Brazil — founded in 1933 as a planned city, with wide avenues and Art Deco architecture reminiscent of a tropical Brasília. The city in the central highlands (Planalto Central) is the gateway to the Cerrado, Brazil's most biodiverse savanna, and the spectacular Chapada dos Veadeiros.

Goiânia is the undisputed capital of Sertanejo music — Brazil's country music, which has risen to become the most popular music genre in the country since the 2000s. Duos like Jorge & Mateus and Maiara & Maraisa hail from here. Live shows in huge arenas and open-air stages are part of the weekend ritual, and the Festa do Peão (Rodeo Festival) is a mega-event.

The Bosque dos Buritis, a 14-hectare city park in the center, is a green oasis with lakes, hiking trails, and the Goiás Art Museum. The Praça Cívica, the central square with neoclassical government buildings, forms the architectural heart of the planned city. Goiânia's street network radiates outwards from here in a star shape.

The Chapada dos Veadeiros, about 230 km to the north, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with canyons, waterfalls over 100 meters high, natural quartz pools, and a unique Cerrado flora. The area is also known as a spiritual center — the town of Alto Paraíso de Goiás attracts both esotericists and nature lovers alike.

Goiânia is one of the greenest major cities in Brazil with over 30 parks and 900,000 trees. The hot springs region around Caldas Novas and Rio Quente, 170 km to the south, offers the largest natural hot springs in South America with water temperatures of up to 70 °C.

Goiânia particularly impresses with breathtaking nature, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
