About Uberlandia

Minas Gerais' booming inland capital where Cerrado nature, Oscar Niemeyer architecture, and comida mineira collide.

Uberlândia is a dynamic, rapidly growing metropolis of over 725,000 people in Brazil's Triângulo Mineiro region, ranking as the second-largest city in Minas Gerais. It blends modern urban infrastructure with generous green spaces like the expansive Parque do Sabiá, a vibrant gastronomic scene along Rondon Pacheco Avenue, and cultural landmarks designed by Oscar Niemeyer. A major logistics and events hub, the city consistently ranks among Brazil's top non-capital cities for hosting international congresses and conventions.
