Rolim de Moura

Rolim de Moura is a municipality in Rondônia state in the Amazon region of northern Brazil. The town sits on gently rolling terrain with rivers and forest patches, where farms and scattered settlements make up the landscape.

The municipality began in 1979 through a settlement program that gave land to families and drew people to this region. This colonization project shaped its development as an agricultural center.

Farming shapes how people live and gather in the town center, with markets and meeting places reflecting the importance of agriculture to the community. Daily routines revolve around harvest seasons and the work of local producers.

Visitors should prepare for hot, humid weather and wear light, breathable clothing when exploring the area. The drier months offer better access to roads and more visible farm activity throughout the region.

A network of rivers runs through the region, providing water for farms and doubling as community pathways. These waterways connect distant settlements and serve as transport routes that supplement road travel.
