Rio Azuis — o menor rio do Brasil

Verified

The shortest river in Brazil and Latin America (about 147 meters), recognized by Guinness, in the Azuis village, in Aurora do Tocantins. The water is so transparent you can see every blue-green pebble on the bed, with Caribbean-level visibility and a pleasant temperature year-round. It's the most famous crystal-clear attraction in this corner of the Serras Gerais, on the Arraias and Combinado route.
