The municipality contains the 6,422 hectares (15,870 acres) Dom Osório Stoffel State Park, created in 2002. The Vermelho River runs through the south of the municipal seat and along the north of the state park border.[2]
According to the Brazilian census in 2020 the town had 236,042 inhabitants.
The city is growing quickly because many industries settled there and the soybean plantation is considered[by whom?] a "new gold rush" in the region, attracting emigrants from distant regions of Brazil. These people are from the South and Southeast regions who used to work with cattle ranching. The farming is extensive and very automated compared to other parts of Brazil. The farms are interesting as when the industry was labor-intensive the owners built small villages around the main house for the workers. These "villages" were self-contained and included schools and medical facilities. Rarely used now for their original purpose many still stand. They are seen as an island surrounded by trees in the middle of soy bean plants stretching to the horizon.
In August 2007 the Italian wind orchestraOrchestra Fiati Giovanile Italiana e Coro "I Music Piemonteis" conducted by Ugo Bairo, and his choir, conducted by Carmelo Luca Sambataro performed there. There he premiered his wind composition dedicated to the local government: The Mato GrossoMarch. The city is situated on the Cerrado, high tableland intersected by deep gorges containing butte and mesa formations.
