Ariquemes, Administrative division in Rondônia, Brazil.
Ariquemes is a city in Rondônia state in northern Brazil. It sits in the middle of agricultural lands and settlements, serving as a hub for the surrounding region.
The city emerged in the 1970s during the settlement of the Amazon region. Farmers and pioneers arrived to develop the land and build new communities.
