Araguaia Filming Locations
Goiás, a state in central Brazil, is home to rugged savanna, colonial-era towns and large-scale agriculture. Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park is a scenic highlands preserve with trails, rivers, canyons and waterfalls. Founded during the 1700s, the gold-rush towns of Pirenópolis and Goiás Velho (the former state capital) are distinguished by their Portuguese-colonial architecture and vibrant Christian festivals.
Mato Grosso, a large state in west-central Brazil, is mostly covered with Amazon rainforest, wetlands and savanna plains. The capital, Cuiabá, is a travel hub that dates back to the 18th-century gold rush. Nearby Chapada dos Guimarães National Park has hiking areas with sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and caverns. The sprawling Pantanal wetlands are home to diverse wildlife, including macaws, caimans and jaguars.
Rio de Janeiro is a huge seaside city in Brazil, famed for its Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, 38m Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mount Corcovado and for Sugarloaf Mountain, a granite peak with cable cars to its summit. The city is also known for its sprawling favelas (shanty towns). Its raucous Carnaval festival, featuring parade floats, flamboyant costumes and samba dancers, is considered the world’s largest.
