The Best Things to Do in Campo Grande

Built on agricultural traditions, Campo Grande has grown rapidly, from a rural village in 1875 to a thriving metropolis of more than 800,000 people. Today the modern, high-rise city bustles with businessmen, students, and workers from a diverse range of cultures, including large diaspora communities from Japan, Europe, and the Middle East. Located on the crossroads between São Paulo and Mato Grosse, the city served as an important stopover point for travelers and traders, booming with the arrival of the railway in 1914. Although the city now has a modern, metropolitan feel, you only have to go a few kilometers from its outskirts to see the rural traditions on which it was founded. Plan your trip to Campo Grande and other Brazil destinations using our handy Brazil trip planner.
