Goianésia

Goianésia is a city in central Goiás that covers about 1,500 square kilometers at an elevation of roughly 750 meters. The landscape is defined by extensive sugarcane plantations processed by two major distilleries, while smaller crops like corn are also grown across the region.

The municipality was founded in 1948 and grew from a small agricultural settlement into a regional center. This development was closely tied to the expansion of sugarcane farming, which became the foundation of the local economy.

Sugarcane production shapes daily life here, and you can see this reflected in local celebrations held throughout the year. These festivals feature traditional dishes made from harvest crops and bring the community together around agricultural traditions.

The city has an airport and bus connections to Goiânia and Brasília for visitors traveling to the area. The weather stays warm and fairly consistent year-round, making it accessible at any time, though the dry season offers easier travel conditions.

Temperatures stay remarkably steady between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius throughout the year, allowing crops to grow continuously. This stable climate means farmers can work the fields without long seasonal breaks or major weather challenges.
