Itumbiara, Municipal center in Goiás, Brazil

Itumbiara is a municipal center in southern Goiás that sits along the state border with Minas Gerais. The town lies beside a large reservoir created by a hydroelectric dam on the Rio Paranaíba.

A tax post was established here in 1824 to monitor travelers between Uberaba and the Caminho de Anhanguera. The hydroelectric plant built in the 1960s changed the landscape and has shaped the local economy since then.

The name comes from a Tupi word meaning

The town offers several hospitals and numerous schools for residents and is well equipped with public services. Visitors find areas along the lakefront for walking and orientation, where the bridge provides a clear reference point.

The Affonso Penna bridge connects both states across the water and serves as a popular meeting spot at sunset. Sport boats pass beneath its span while navigating the artificial lake.
