Mirante do Centro Geodésico

Mirante do Centro Geodésico da América do Sul

A cliff-edge lookout on the plateau, billed as the geographic center of mainland South America, with views over the Cuiabá plain.

This lookout lies about 8 km southeast of town, on red cliffs at the edge of the plateau. Several hundred meters of sheer drop lie below, and the endless Cuiabá plain stretches beyond. On clear days you can see Cuiabá city. The site was once measured as the geographic center of mainland South America (another measuring point is in central Cuiabá), and a monument marks the spot. It is especially popular for watching the sunset. Entry is free, there is a parking lot, and it can be reached by car or taxi.
