Departure from the Safari Camp beach, descending the Novo River while appreciating its wild nature (approximately 1 hour – easy level). The Novo River is one of the last potable water rivers in the world.

On the left is Jalapão State Park, and on the right the eastern side of the Serra Geral Ecological Station, together forming the largest mosaic of protected areas in the Brazilian cerrado. This route offers rich scenery, inviting travelers to enjoy the fresh air, landscapes, and photo opportunities.

It is also possible to swim in the waters of the Sono River, one of the main tributaries of the Tocantins River, where the cold river water contrasts with the warm fervedouro waters. Depending on availability and time, we may also visit Ceiça/Glorinha Fervedouro (small fervedouro with limited capacity).
