Barra do Garças

Barra do Garças sits where the Garças and Araguaia rivers meet, spreading across a large area with varied landscapes throughout. The city has an airport, several water parks, and natural springs that serve both visitors and residents.

The settlement grew from a small river community and became an official municipality in 1948, marking a new phase of local development. This founding enabled growth and improved infrastructure that continues to shape the region today.

The annual Caju Festival showcases local traditions through music, regional food, and gatherings in the Voadeira area that shape community life. These celebrations bring people together and show how important shared meals and neighborhood connection are in daily life here.

The city has an airport for larger trips and several water parks for cooling off on hot days. Natural springs are scattered throughout the area, so a local guide or map helps find the best spots to visit.

The city is known for a special site called Discoporto, designed as a UFO landing spot that reflects local interest in extraterrestrial phenomena. This unusual place attracts curious visitors looking to explore something unexpected.
