Rondonópolis is a major city in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, located in the Cerrado eco-region of the country's west-central region. The city's name is a combination of former governor Bernardo Rondon and the Greek word "polis" (city), and it is known as a "pioneer of national development".
The city is located on the southern edge of the Amazon rainforest, at an altitude of about 200 meters above sea level, with a tropical climate. As the heart of the agricultural frontier, Londo Novo Polis is known for its soybean, corn and cotton cultivation, as well as its livestock and wood processing industries. In recent years, it has developed into a regional trade and logistics center based on its status as a hub on the BR-364 highway.
Londo Novo Polis combines the culture of the Brazilian interior with the traditions of immigrants (mainly from the southern states). The city is surrounded by numerous waterfalls and nature reserves, such as the Getulio Vargas waterfall complex, which attract ecotourism enthusiasts. The Agricultural and Livestock Fair (Expoagro), held every July, is an important festival that showcases the achievements of local agriculture.
With the advancement of Amazon development policies, LondoNópolis is facing the dual challenge of balancing agricultural production with rainforest preservation. The city's infrastructure continues to improve, and with a current population of approximately 220,000, it is one of the fastest growing cities in the state of Mato Grosso.
