Alternative Title: Rio Tocantins

Tocantins River, Portuguese Rio Tocantins, river that rises in several headstreams on the central plateau in Goiás estado (state), Brazil. It flows northward through Goiás and then Tocantins states until it receives the Manuel Alves Grande River. Looping westward, it marks the boundary of Tocantins and Maranhão states as far as its junction with the Araguaia River. The Tocantins again turns northward and flows into the Pará River, a navigable arm of the Amazon River delta, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean
