Medonho

Medonho takes its name from a river of the upper Parnaíba basin in the northeastern Brazilian interior. The Medonho flows through the country west of the Parnaíba and joins the greater river near Alto Parnaíba. Its waters are part of a network of streams draining the uplands toward the long river that continues north to the Atlantic. Forest and open country meet along these waterways, far from the coast.
