Ladário

Ladário is a municipality in Mato Grosso do Sul within the Pantanal region, situated near the Paraguay River and surrounded by Corumbá. The area spans about 343 square kilometers and provides schools, healthcare centers, and administrative offices for its approximately 23,700 residents.

The settlement started as a port town that supported regional trade during Brazil's rubber export era. This foundation as a trading post shaped its early development along the river.

The local population celebrates with music and food that blend indigenous traditions with Portuguese colonial heritage. You can experience these influences in how people gather and mark special occasions throughout the year.

The town is easily reached via road connections along the Paraguay River and offers accommodations and restaurants for visitors. Most services and shops are found in the central area where you can walk around comfortably.

Underground deposits of iron ore, manganese, and limestone lie beneath the area and have shaped its economic importance. The river location made these natural resources easy to transport and strengthened the region's role in trade networks.
