About Rondônia

Rondônia is a Brazilian state located in the northern region of Brazil, between the Amazon, the state of Mato Grosso and the Republic of Bolivia.
It began to develop its economic and tourist potential in 1982, when it ceased to be a territory and became a state, and the agricultural sector began to grow.

Among its main activities are the production of coffee and cocoa (products that achieved Brazilian recognition for their quality), livestock, soybean, and rice production and river fishing.

In addition, due to its proximity to the Amazon, it has developed a proposal for ecotourism and traditional tourism mixed with local cuisine.
