Anicuns, Municipality in central Goiás, Brazil.
Located on the right bank of Rio dos Bois, Anicuns extends across 1,750 square kilometers at an elevation of 708 meters above sea level.
The settlement emerged during Brazil's gold rush period and transformed into an agricultural community after gold resources diminished, achieving municipality status in 1911.
The municipality's name comes from the Guanicuns Indians who hunted a local bird species, using its feathers for decorations and consuming its tongue.
