Cruzeiro do Sul, Border municipality in western Acre, Brazil
Cruzeiro do Sul is a city along the Juruá River in Acre, surrounded by thick Amazon rainforest that defines its landscape. It grew into the second largest settlement in the state and functions as a regional hub within the forest region.
The city was founded in 1904 as a rubber extraction center that expanded significantly during the twentieth century rubber boom. This economic phase shaped it into a regional trading hub.
The Cathedral of Nossa Senhora da Gloria shapes the city's appearance with its German architectural style and remains a focal point for the local community.
The airport connects the city with major Brazilian destinations, and the BR-364 highway links it to other parts of the state. Visitors should prepare for high humidity and frequent rainfall that characterize the climate year-round.
In this equatorial region, temperatures can surprisingly drop below 2.4°C (37°F) during rare cold weather events that catch residents and travelers off guard. These temperature anomalies are strikingly uncommon for such a warm part of Brazil.
