CANTÃO
where the Cerrado meets the Amazon
One of the last wildlife sanctuaries on the planet, Cantão holds a richness that’s hard to match.
With over 800 lakes, it shelters rare species like river dolphins and giant otters. In the forest, maned wolves, tapirs, anteaters, and hundreds of bird species roam freely.
Skilled artisans, traditional herbalists, and master canoe makers shape a culture where Cerrado and rainforest meet — offering an experience that is both unique and deeply authentic.
The Amazon Closer Than You Think
The adventure begins in Palmas. Arrive by 3 p.m. and you'll start your forest safari the very same day. Exploring the Amazon has never been this easy.
Cantão is ancestral land, deep nature. The first natural park in the state of Tocantins. It’s also a place of convergence — where biomes, cultures, and stories come together across generations.
The Cantão Safari will move you
If you're looking for an authentic, immersive experience in nature — observing wildlife, hiking through the forest, and unwinding by the river — this is where it happens.
So how is it different from Jalapão?
Jalapão → A 4x4 expedition through crystal-clear springs and vast, golden Cerrado landscapes.
Cantão → A wildlife safari with rare bird sightings, river dolphins, and giant otters. Less time on the road, more time in nature. Experiences are co-created with a research and conservation institute, exploring a lesser-known corner of the Amazon.
