The Park Road

The Park Road was constructed in the 1970s by the military government at the same time as they constructed the Transamazon Highway and the BR-163 interstate, which connects Cuiabá to Santarem in Pará State.

Cuiabá

Located in the geodesic centre of South America, Cuiabá is the gateway of entry for visitors looking for both leisure and business opportunities in Mato Grosso. The city name comes from the Bororo native people, who lived in the area and means “place where we fish with spears.” It was originally settled in the 18th century when gold was found in the nearby rivers.

Chapada dos Guimarães

One of the main attractions in the Brazilian Cerrado, the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park was created in 1989 in order to protect the enormous sandstone formations, outlooks that provide a broad view of the swampland plains and many waterfalls, thanks to the rich hydrography and sudden changes in altitude.

The Giant Anteater, relative of sloths and armadillos, weighs between 18 and 40 kg and measures 1 to 1.2 metres long, plus about the same length for its tail. Its nearly 1-metre-long tongue is covered with sticky saliva and sharp spikes. It uses its powerful front legs and sharp claws to tear open an ant or termite nest and then probes for food with its tongue. More...
