Aruanã, Waterfront municipality in Goiás, Brazil
Located at the junction of the Vermelho and Araguaia rivers, Aruanã extends across 3,050 square kilometers of central Brazilian territory at 250 meters elevation.
The settlement originated from a military fort called Leopoldina, established in 1849 to secure the strategic confluence of the Vermelho and Araguaia rivers.
The Karajá indigenous community maintains their traditional settlement near the municipality, preserving their customs and ancestral practices alongside the local population.
The municipality contains 18 educational institutions serving over 3,500 students, with one hospital providing 27 beds for medical care to residents.
During the dry season from May to August, extensive sandbanks emerge along the riverbanks, creating natural beach areas for recreational activities.
