Pirenópolis, Colonial town in Goiás, Brazil

The municipality sits at an elevation of 819 meters between mountains and rivers, featuring preserved Portuguese colonial buildings and numerous waterfalls.

The settlement began in 1727 as Minas de Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Meia Ponte when Portuguese colonizers discovered gold deposits in Rio das Almas.

The Festa do Divino Espírito Santo celebration includes horsemen performances called Cavalhadas, representing medieval battles between Christians and Moors.

Located 120 kilometers from Goiânia and 150 kilometers from Brasília, the town maintains two hospitals and a campus of the State University of Goiás.

The region contains more than twenty waterfalls within a 15-kilometer radius, making it a central location for natural water attractions in central Brazil.
