Embark on a Cinematic Adventure in the Heart of Brazil
Nestled amidst the grand Serra Geral mountains, Jalapão is a pristine haven where crystal-clear rivers, untouched beaches, and wild landscapes come together to create one of Brazil’s last untarnished gems.
With abundant waterfalls, rivers, and lakes, complemented by reddish sand dunes and sparse backwoods, Jalapão offers the perfect backdrop for both tourism and exhilarating sports like rafting, canyoning, and more.
The Origins and Charms of Jalapão
Jalapão’s name is a blend of “jalapa-do-brasil,” a native plant used for stomach ailments, and “pão” meaning bread in Portuguese.
The region impresses with its vastness, covering approximately 20% of Tocantins. Sandstone plateaus, reaching up to a thousand meters in height, dominate the landscape, creating a unique blend of desert-like beauty teeming with fauna.
Despite its classification as a desert, Jalapão surprises visitors with an abundance of perennial rivers featuring transparent and pure waters, offering a sanctuary for wildlife to thrive.
