Cuiabá

Maybe because of its geographical localization that isolated it from the rest of the country for a long time, Cuiabá - Geodesic Center of South America - is a city with its own personality. In the architecture, in the music, in the dance, in the culinary, in the way of speaking, in almost all the cultural manifestations, a genuine local aspect can be found. This wealth makes the cuiabano folklore one of the main tourist attractions of the city.

Nowadays, Cuiabá offers to its visitors, tourists and the local population a lot of attractions such as parks, theaters, cinemas, shopping centers, restaurants, bars and night clubs.
