Valparaíso de Goiás, Municipality in east-central Goiás, Brazil

Valparaíso de Goiás is a city near Brasília spread across roughly 60 square kilometers at an elevation of 1,080 meters. The entire population lives in the urban area, creating a densely developed zone with residential, commercial, and industrial sections.

The city began in 1979 as a housing development project named after a Chilean engineer who oversaw the early construction phases. It later grew into a larger municipality and received official city status.

The city is a modern settlement where commercial and industrial work shapes how people spend their days. Daily life revolves around practical matters and local business activity rather than traditional cultural landmarks.

Highway BR-040 runs through the city and connects it to other parts of Brazil. Access is straightforward since the highway carries regular traffic and offers good connections to nearby larger cities.

The city has a literacy rate above 93 percent, which surpasses the national average. This achievement stands out given how recently the place was founded and how quickly it developed.
