Ribas do Rio Pardo

Ribas do Rio Pardo is a municipality in Mato Grosso do Sul, a state in central-western Brazil. The region centers around rural land, where farming and cattle raising form the backbone of local economic activity.

The municipality was founded in 1944 as a new administrative center in the state. Its growth followed the expansion of farming and ranching activities across the region.

Local residents maintain strong agricultural traditions through seasonal festivals that celebrate the region's farming heritage and rural practices.

Visiting during the drier months makes travel easier since rural roads are in better condition. Travelers should prepare for countryside conditions and expect limited urban services.

The area is home to enormous cattle herds scattered across pastures that shape the land's appearance. Visitors can spot these sprawling ranches while driving through the region.
