Piraputanga is a small district of Aquidauana that stands out as one of the most charming destinations in Mato Grosso do Sul. Known for the striking landscapes of the Maracaju Mountains and the legacy of the old railway, the locality attracts visitors seeking tranquility and contact with nature.
Located about 30 km from Aquidauana and approximately 140 km from Campo Grande, Piraputanga is in a transition region between biomes, bringing together characteristics of the Cerrado and floodable areas near the Pantanal.
Among the main highlights is Morro do Paxixi. Over 500 meters high, it dominates the landscape and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding plains and rivers, serving as a landmark in the region's scenery. More than a tourist spot, the hill is a natural landmark that reinforces the local identity and the region's tourism potential.
With its unique scenery and welcoming atmosphere, Piraputanga remains one of the most authentic destinations in the interior of Mato Grosso do Sul.
