Mindful meoweler tips

Palmas’ lively food scene

Dining in Palmas is a treat for the senses. Cats can indulge in traditional fare like açaí na tigela and pamonha, or try something new like crab-stuffed peppers known as pimentas recheadas. Check out feirinhas or food fairs for an even more diverse selection.

The city’s striking architecture

Palmas is known for its world-class architecture, especially its many arches. The city is also home to the stunningly designed Palácio Araguaia, which houses the state government. Cats should definitely snap a photo at night when it is beautifully lit up.

Sustainable tourism in Jalapão

Jalapão, a 3-hour drive from Palmas, offers beautiful landscapes such as sand dunes, waterfalls, and crystal-clear rivers. Cats can also support the sustainable tourism movement there by booking tours led by local communities who emphasize preservation and low-impact practices.
