You step off the transfer in Cuiabá into a broad, sun-baked plain where the air smells faintly of earth and wet grass. The van eases onto red roads, and within an hour you’re climbing into the cooler plateau of Chapada dos Guimarães — sandstone cliffs rise like weathered pages, and waterfalls cut bright slashes into canyon walls.
