About this activity

Discover the Wild Cantão on a 4-day expedition through the Cantão State Park in Caseara, Tocantins, where the Cerrado meets the Amazon.

This immersive journey takes you to one of Brazil’s most biodiverse regions. Throughout the itinerary, you’ll explore ecological trails, navigate tranquil rivers and igapós, and observe impressive wildlife, including giant otters, river dolphins, caimans, and rare birds.

The experience begins in Palmas, with a transfer to Caseara, the gateway to the park. During the flood season, canoe trips reveal the flooded forests. In the dry season, trails and river beaches enhance the experience.

Specialized local guides accompany the entire expedition, providing a deep connection with nature, combining adventure, knowledge, and sustainable tourism.

Experience the Wild Cantão and discover one of Brazil’s most authentic and preserved destinations. A 4-day journey to disconnect and be enchanted by nature.

Two biomes in harmony

The experience in Cantão is surprising due to its natural diversity. In a single day, you can paddle through streams, watch birds, and hike through the Cerrado. The transition between biomes is clear and enriching. It’s a journey for those looking to learn from nature and slow down.
