context_page_description: Alto Paraíso de Goiás, usually referred to as Alto Paraíso, is a municipality located in the northeastern region of the state of Goiás, Brazil. The city is located in the Chapada dos Veadeiros and, since 2001, in the environmental protection area of Pouso Alto. Alto Paraíso is about 220 km from Brasilia/DF and 412 km from Goiânia/GO. Alto Paraíso is located in the central Brazilian Highlands, a region characterized by the cerrado biome, also known as the Brazilian savannah. The region offers many natural and cultural attractions related to the ecotourism.
context_section_description: The access to the city occurs through the GO-118/BR-010 highway. If the point of origin is Brasilia, Federal District (DF), which is the closest Brazilian capital to Alto Paraíso and from where departs the majority of tourists to Chapada dos Veadeiros, drivers should opt for the northern exit of DF and, subsequently, cross the village of São Gabriel and the municipality of São João d'Aliança, both of them in the state of Goiás.
  There are also daily interstate bus lines departing from the Federal District to Alto Paraíso de Goiás, at the Interstate Bus Station of Brasilia.
  The city of Alto Paraíso has a small airport, but it is not served by major commercial airlines. Apparently, its runway is only utilized for smaller jets.
  Increasingly, there are cyclists who travel across the GO-118 and GO-239 highways, in parts which correspond, respectively, to Brasilia-Alto Paraíso and to Alto Paraiso-São Jorge. However, it is important to notice that only the latter (GO-239) is equipped with a bike lane throughout the whole extension.
  The road to São Jorge village is located on a bifurcation of the GO-118/BR-010 highway, which grants access to the GO-239 highway, westbound; such access is right next to the city of Alto Paraíso. The road between Alto Paraíso and São Jorge has around 35 km of extension; previously a dirt road, it has now been completely paved and, as stated, provided with a parallel lane for cyclists.
  Other neighboring municipalities of Alto Paraíso de Goiás are:
  Northbound: Cavalcante and Teresina de Goiás;
  Southbound: São João d'Aliança;
  Eastbound: Nova Roma; and
  Westbound: Colinas do Sul.
