Cruzeiro do Sul, Border municipality in western Acre, Brazil

Located along the Juruá River, Cruzeiro do Sul stands as the second largest city in Acre state, surrounded by dense Amazon rainforest.

The municipality, established in 1904, developed from a rubber extraction center into a regional trading hub during the 20th century rubber boom.

The Cathedral of Nossa Senhora da Gloria, constructed between 1957 and 1965, exhibits German architectural elements and represents local religious traditions.

The Cruzeiro do Sul International Airport connects the city with major Brazilian destinations, while the BR-364 highway links it to Rio Branco.

The temperature in this equatorial region can unexpectedly drop below 2.4 degrees Celsius during rare cold weather events.
