Destinations Visited

Jalapao, Tocantins

In the heart of Brazil, surrounded by the gigantic Serra Geral Mountains, with pure and crystalline rivers, paradise beaches, very primitive natural environment, there exists one of the last regions where nature is practically intact - the Jalapao. Located in the west of the recently formed state of Tocantins, with an area of 34.113 km, it is a transition region between the stunted spare vegetation and waste land composed of stunted twisted trees called Jalapão desert - it is really a large oasis, since, in spite of the sandy soil, this region pertaining to the mountain has springs and brooks which in their descent to the Tocantins river valley, besides forming beautiful waterfalls and rapids, allows the survival of a diversified fauna and flora.
