Encontro das Águas

Verified

The confluence of the Rio São Miguel (clear water) with the Rio Tocantinzinho (darker water), which run side by side without mixing for a stretch and form river beaches of light sand. In the dry season (May to September) the beaches grow larger and the spot is used for swimming, picnics, and rafting on the rapids. It sits on the dirt road between São Jorge and Colinas do Sul, with a short trail and a home-cooking restaurant at the attraction.
