Filming Location Info

Geography/Location
Located in the heartland of Brazil, the
State of Tocantins, borders the states of Bahia,
Maranhão and Piauí, in the North region; it
has one of the smallest population rate in the
country. On the west side of the recently formed
Tocantins state, with an area of 34,113 km2, is
a transition area between the "caatinga"
(a dry, stunted brushwood area) and the "cerrado"
(a woodsy pasture). Known as the "Jalapão
desert", it is in fact a great
oasis since, in spite of its sandy soil, this
mountainous region has springs and rivers that
on their way down to the Tocantins River valley,
form beautiful waterfalls and rapids, besides
providing the environment for a diversified
fauna and flora.
The closest airport is on Palmas city, capital
of Tocantins State.
Tocantins forms the boundary
between the Amazon
Rainforest and the coastal savanna.
As a result, the state's geography is varied.
Many rivers
cross through the state (including one
of the same name), and there are over 20 archaeologically
significant sites found in Tocantins.
Climate
The climate is tropical; temperatures vary
between 30 to 35 degrees Celsius during the
day and 13 to 20 degrees at night. There
is a rainy season between December and March and
a dry season, with scattered storms, the rest of
the year.
Wildlife
Onça Pintada ( jaguar); Onça Suçuarana or
Sussuarana ( panther or puma); Lobo Guará (
manned wolf); Raposa (fox); Cachorro do Mato
(Bush Dog or Wild Dog); Emu; Sucuri (anaconda),
Toucans, Macaws, and Parrots. There is also the
critically endangered Pato de Penacho (Brazilian
Merganser) and some registered sights of the
Ararinha Azul (Spix's Macaw), which is
considered already extinct in Nature.
Culture/Production Themes
Seven indigenous ethnic groups present in
Tocantins and the Quilombolas complete the
cultural beauty of the state, with their ways of
life, dances and rituals that are eternalized
through generations.
