Why this place

Serras Gerais do Tocantins

Serras Gerais spreads across southeastern Tocantins through places such as Dianópolis, Aurora, Almas, Natividade and Rio da Conceição. It combines dramatic Cerrado geology, turquoise pools, waterfalls, canyons, caves and historic towns, creating a multi-stop region that feels noticeably less established than Jalapão.
