It is located about 400 kilometers from Brasília, midway between the muninipalities of São Domingos, Posse e Guarani de Goiás, in the State of Goiás, Brazil. Thousands of years ago, a landslide caused its division into two parts. The first can be visited easily, but the second part requires a tour guide.

The main rivers that bathe the municipality are the Rio Tesouras and Rio do Peixe, besides the streams of Alagadinho, Alagado, São João, Fogueira, Barreirinho, do Gato, Lagoinha, do Buriti, do Manoel and Muquém.

The mountains that stand out are Constantino, Pimenta, Pouso Alto, Jiripoca, Tombador and Bananal and the hills of São João and Engano.

Mota bought land and created lots to build a settlement. In 1954 the first hut was built and soon other settlers arrived form the state of Minas Gerais. The first name was "Barreirinho". In 1956 working together the settlers opened a road to Nova América so they could get their agricultural products to market. In 1958 Barreirinho became a district in the municipality of Goiás, the name changing to Mozarlândia, in homage to Mozart Andrade Mota who had distributed land to settlers and ranchers who wanted to stay in the area. Mota was mayor for two terms and in his administrations he carried out important works, like the building of the city hall, the public jail, and two plazas. He donated land to schools, churches, the city hall, the aerodrome, and the cemetery. He brought electricity and built the first schools.

Where is this?

GuRoute likes to place attractions inside other attractions. So, maybe it's in a city, or maybe it's inside a particular park in that city. Maybe your attraction is a huge park that spans half the county, or multiple counties.

Determining where this attraction is gives it context - if it's in a park, you'll be able to see it alongside all the other attractions in that park. And that helps define the park.

GuRoute will automatically calculate a parent region for this attraction. You can change it if there is something more appropriate.
