Fishing near Maracaju, Mato Grosso do Sul

Maracaju sits in the agricultural heartland of Mato Grosso do Sul, on the Serra de Maracaju — the same highland range that gives rise to major river systems including the Aquidauana and the Miranda. The rivers draining this serra and the surrounding cerrado, among them the Rio Brilhante just a few kilometres from the city, draw local anglers looking for freshwater sport fishing in a landscape shaped by rolling hills and seasonal rains.
