Jalapão is a semi-arid microregion in the state of Tocantins, Brazil. Parts of the microregion have dramatic landscapes with large orange sand dunes, towering rock formations and fast-flowing clear rivers and streams. This is attractive to tourists, and led to Jalapão being chosen for a season of the US version of the Survivor TV series.
The region is a destination for adventure tourism and ecotourism, with the main attractions in Mateiros, - Fervrdoros , Cachoeria Formiga, Dunas do Jalapão and The Serra do Espirito Santo.

Formiga Waterfall
The Formiga Waterfall is a small watercourse fall, surrounded by lush vegetation, tall trees, ferns and shrubs of native palm trees. But the main attraction is the pool formed at the foot of the waterfall, where the waters of a lovely emerald green invite you to dive in. A jewel where you can swim and observe the nature which surrounds it. A beautiful tour for lovers of natural beauty.

Fervedouro
It seems like an oasis. Amidst closed vegetation, swamps and streams, there is a place of rare beauty surrounded by banana trees. In its center is a large pool of transparent blue water – in reality, the spring of an underground river. The water that springs from clear sand creates the phenomenon of upwelling, which makes it impossible for the most persistent swimmer to submerge. In a fervedouro, you’ll have fun and get to know the real feeling of lightness.
There are various fervedouros in the region of Mateiros. The most well known fervedouro is near Cachoeira da Formiga.
