Barra do Quaraí, Border municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Barra do Quaraí is a municipality in the far west of Rio Grande do Sul, located where Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina meet. The settlement sits along the Rio Quaraí and Uruguay River, which form the natural borders of the region.
The town separated from Uruguaiana in 1995 and established itself as an independent municipality. Since then, it has developed as a key border settlement in the state's western corner.
The local residents, known as barrense, maintain strong connections with neighboring communities across the borders of Uruguay and Argentina.
The nearest major city, Porto Alegre, lies to the east and provides connections to other regions of the country. Border crossings to Uruguay and Argentina are easily accessible from here.
The area is the site of an ongoing border dispute between Brazil and Uruguay over Ilha Brasileira. This contested island remains a point of geopolitical tension in the region.
