Jaguarão, Border municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Jaguarão extends across 2,054 square kilometers of land along the Brazilian-Uruguayan border, connected to Río Branco by the Barón de Mauá Bridge.

The settlement began as a military outpost in 1800 to protect Brazilian territory and became the first city to support the Republic Riograndense during the Ragamuffin War.

Eight hundred historical buildings line the streets of Jaguarão, representing nineteenth-century architectural styles from both Brazilian and Uruguayan influences.

The municipality maintains an administrative center at Avenida 27 de Janeiro 422, where residents can access public services between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

The border location creates a natural commercial exchange point where Brazilian and Uruguayan currencies circulate freely among local merchants and shoppers.
