Sonora, Municipality in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
Sonora is a municipality in Mato Grosso do Sul located in central-western Brazil, covering approximately 4,000 square kilometers. The terrain sits at roughly 600 meters in elevation and is dominated by agricultural land and cattle pastures.
The municipality was officially established on June 3, 1988, and integrated into Mato Grosso do Sul's administrative structure. This founding was part of the regional development push in central-western Brazil during the late 1980s.
The people here are deeply connected to farming and cattle raising, which shapes the rhythm of daily life. You can see this reflected in local markets and how residents balance agricultural work with family time.
The town operates on UTC-4 time zone and has an administrative center providing basic services for visitors and residents. Travelers will find essential amenities here, though it functions as a rural hub rather than a large urban center.
The very low population density of roughly 5 people per square kilometer reveals just how sparsely settled this region is. This makes it a quiet, wide-open area with plenty of open land between villages and farms.
