Porto Murtinho

Porto Murtinho is an administrative division in Mato Grosso do Sul located in the Central-West region of Brazil. The territory covers expansive land with dispersed settlement patterns and maintains a Paraguayan consular office for border communities.

The municipality originated as a strategic port and trading post along major waterways during regional expansion in Brazil. Its role as a transport junction shaped its development and connection to neighboring regions.

Local celebrations in the town feature traditional music and regional dishes that reflect the identity of Mato Grosso do Sul. Community gatherings show influences from the nearby border with Paraguay.

The area has very low population density, so visitors should plan for longer travel times between places and use local guidance. Administrative services are available at the municipal center with consular support for border-related matters.

The region holds a notable temperature record for the entire country. In November 2023, one of the highest temperatures ever recorded in Brazil was measured here.
