Rio das Almas is a stream flowing through the state of Goiás, Brazil, draining into the upper Rio Tocantins basin. Stretching approximately 58 kilometers, the river winds through a region shaped by the Brazilian Cerrado landscape, with two tributaries feeding its flow and two distributaries — including Córrego Ave Maria — branching from it. The river supports a remarkably diverse fish community, with scientific surveys documenting 67 species across 19 families and five orders in the broader rio das Almas basin, reflecting the extraordinary biodiversity typical of Neotropical river systems. The predominance of Characiformes and Siluriformes mirrors patterns found throughout the region, making this a compelling destination for anglers interested in tropical freshwater fishing.
