Querência, Municipality in Mato Grosso, Brazil
Querência is a municipality in northeastern Mato Grosso that spans a large territory encompassing both rainforest and savanna vegetation. The land combines different ecosystems with agricultural areas that shape how the region looks today.
The municipality was officially established in 1991, emerging from a cooperative founded in 1985 to support migrants from southern Brazil. Pastor Norberto Schwantes played a key role in starting this settlement initiative in the north.
The place grew from the arrival of farmers seeking new opportunities in a frontier region. Today, the rhythm of daily life follows the agricultural calendar, with community celebrations tied to harvesting and farming traditions.
The area is best reached by road through the local network connecting the agricultural zones. The best time to visit is outside the rainy season, when roads are more easily navigable.
The area rapidly became an important hub for grain production and regularly attracts agricultural professionals interested in farming methods. This specialization draws visitors from across the region who want to observe how modern farming operates in this frontier setting.
