Corumbá

Nestling at the foot of the Pireneus Mountains, Corumbá, in Goiás, is another town which guards the history of the state's colonial past in its well preserved monuments and houses. A good example of the architecture is the church of Nossa Senhora da Penha, built initially as a chapel in 1751. Religious tradition and folklore are to be found in the festivals of Nossa Senhora da Penha, São Sebastião and Divino Espírito Santo. Near Corumbá are also two beautiful waterfalls, Salto and Monjolinho.
