Jalapão
Where to stayJalapão is not a city, but a vast region in Tocantins. Unlike conventional tourist destinations, logistics are the central point here. Accommodation should be chosen strategically based on your itinerary, as the distances between the 'fervedouros' (natural springs), waterfalls, and dunes are significant.
The three main base cities are:
- Mateiros: Closest to the main attractions (Dunes, famous Fervedouros). Ideal for those looking to optimize time.
- São Félix do Tocantins: Growing infrastructure, offers easier access to the northern region's fervedouros.
- Ponte Alta do Tocantins: Generally the entry point. Ideal for the first or last night for those coming from Palmas.
*Note:* The 2026 market in Jalapão prioritizes "Experience and Sustainability Tourism." Spaces that offer immersion in nature with comfort (glamping) have outperformed conventional hotels in demand.
