Aquidauana, Gateway municipality to Pantanal in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
The municipality spans across 16,958 square kilometers of land, featuring the Serra de Maracaju mountains and the winding Aquidauana River through its territory.
Five cattle ranchers established Aquidauana in 1892, developing it from a military settlement that emerged during the Paraguayan War into a formal municipality by 1918.
Nine villages within the municipality house over 9,000 members of the Terena indigenous group, preserving their traditions and contributing to local diversity.
The MS 450 highway connects visitors to Piraputanga Park Road, extending 42.4 kilometers along riverbanks with access to natural attractions and lodges.
Ancient cave inscriptions from hunter-gatherers remain visible throughout the region, providing evidence of early human settlements in this part of Brazil.
