Where to stay in Goiabeira
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Goiabeira is a sightseeing quarter. Its record lists churches, museums and the Marco Geodesico da America do Sul rather than hotels, so a visit is normally run out of Cuiabá and the district seen during the day. Boa Esperança and Jardim das Américas face the same shortage. Anyone here for the Monumento dos Direitos Humanos Universais will still sleep somewhere else in Cuiabá.

About Goiabeira
What are the main landmarks in Goiabeira?
Churches set the tone. The Igreja de São Gonçalo, the Igreja Nossa Senhora do Bom Despacho and the Igreja da Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte all stand inside the district, with the Igreja de Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora among them. A fountain, the Chafariz do Mundéu, sits in the same quarter.
Museums crowd in too. The Museu das Bonecas e Brinquedos and the Museu da Polícia Militar do Estado de Mato Grosso are listed for the district as well.
What is the history of Goiabeira?
The record here is institutional. Rather than a founding date, Goiabeira carries the institutions that keep Mato Grosso's own past: the Mato Grosso Historical Museum, the Sacred Art Museum of Mato Grosso and the Museu do Morro da Caixa D'Água Velha. The Bustos dos Governadores stand as a portrait line of the state's governors.
Anything earlier is documented at the level of Cuiabá and Mato Grosso.
