Introducing Cuiabá
Cuiabá is a frontier boomtown basking in the relentless Mato Grosso sun. The town’s name is a Bororo Indian word meaning ‘arrow-fishing, ’ though it was first gold and later agriculture that led to the city becoming one of the fastest-growing capitals in Brazil over the last 30 years. The population explosion has tailed off in recent times, but Cuiabá is still a lively place and a good starting point for excursions to the Pantanal and Chapada dos Guimarães.
