Aruanã, Waterfront municipality in Goiás, Brazil
Aruanã sits where the Vermelho and Araguaia rivers meet in Goiás and spreads across a large area of central Brazil. The town is shaped by water and forms an important place where these two rivers converge.
The settlement began as a military fort called Leopoldina, built in 1849 to protect the strategic position where the rivers meet. This fortress became the foundation for the community that grew here.
The Karajá Indigenous people live near the municipality and maintain their way of life in ways visitors can observe and appreciate. Their presence shapes how the place feels and evolves today.
The town has schools and a hospital that serve the basic needs of visitors and residents. It helps to ask around about local services before you arrive, as options can be limited.
During the dry months from May to August, wide sandbanks form along the river and look like natural beaches. These temporary landscapes change how the place appears and create special conditions for water activities.
