Cachoeira Dourada, Municipality in southern Goiás, Brazil.
Cachoeira Dourada is a municipality in southern Goiás state that sits along the Paranaíba River in a region of agricultural development. The town serves as the local center for a farming community in the state's interior.
The place began as a district of Itumbiara in 1962 and became an independent municipality in 1982 as its population grew. This change reflected the economic expansion of the farming region during that period.
The local community depends mainly on agriculture, with cotton, corn, and soybeans grown across large fields that shape the area's character.
The municipality has several health units and a hospital available for medical needs, with basic services accessible locally. For more complex medical situations, people may need to travel to larger cities in the region.
The region is known for natural hot springs with mineral-rich, salty water found in the area. The Itumbiara Dam created an artificial lake that allows water transport and connection between nearby communities.
