Mambaí is a city in eastern Goiás state, Brazil. It is the easternmost city in that state.

History

The settlement began in the 19th century when settlers from the state of Bahia came looking for rubber produced by the mangabeira tree. The village that appeared took the name Riachão. After the building of a chapel and the passing of muleteers heading to Bahia the settlement began to grow. Soon the name was changed to Mambaí and it became a district of the municipality of Posse. The origin of the name is unknown. In 1958 it was dismembered from Posse and became an autonomous municipality.

Geography

Mambaí is one of the most isolated cities in the state of Goiás.[citation needed] It lies in the Vão do Paranã statistical micro-region less than 20 kilometers from the border with the state of Bahia. It is 61 kilometers to the main interstate highway, the BR-020, which links Brasília to Salvador. It is 250 kilometers to Brasília. The distance to the state capital of Goiânia is 512 kilometers. Municipal boundaries are with Posse, Buritinópolis, Damianópolis, and the state of Bahia.

Tourism

Places to visit

1.Cachoeira do Funil 

Hiking Trails

Amazingly, you can stroll through the cave beneath the falls. You may even rappel from the top of the waterfall and use a pendulum to swing under the water. There are wonderful places to take a pleasant bath and get a water massage above the waterfall. A lovely location to spend an hour. You may take a beautiful stroll through a lovely forest to get to the falls, but you can also enter the cave, which involves some work, especially climbing down to reach the entrance. A good headlight is essential in the cave. One of the pleasures of our vacation to Mamba was this visit.I definitely recommend it, and the view of the fall from the cave is worth the effort.[6]

2.Caverna Lapa do Penhasco 

Caverns & Caves

Fantastic location for recharging energy! I advise wearing light clothing and sneakers for the moderate to strenuous trail. For extremely young children up to roughly 8 years old, I believe it to be a risky ride. a river that is running, a water crossing, and many stones. Absolutely worth it![7]

3.Cachoeira do Alemão 

Waterfalls

You must down a very steep slope to reach this waterfall, but once you do, you'll want to remain. The waterfall is really attractive, and the pleasant water temperature helps to relieve stress and fatigue. Don't pass it up![8]

4.Trilha Itaguassu 

Hiking Trails

You can get a sense of Mamba's natural richness by walking this trail. The uphill and downhill path is extremely lovely as it passes beneath some really large trees. The highlight was traversing the cave, cut by a river, to continue our journey, as shown on the photo. There are places to rest and go swimming, and the water was incredibly clear. The cave and the surrounding area have some gorgeous and intriguing rock formations. Due to the variety of shapes, vegetation, and colours, the trail continues through a labyrinth of rocks that is also quite attractive. The entire trail is a half-day and requires some work, but it is worthwhile because of the stunning scenery and enjoyable swimming spots. You do require a map![9]

5.Caverna Claraboia 

Caverns & Caves

If you visit Mambai, don't miss it. The cave is just stunning! We have the option of rappelling down to enter the cave through a hole in the ceiling. I done that, and I suggest doing it![10]

Gypsy Community

There is a small gypsy community living in the area, which was the study of a linguist, Fábio José Dantas Melo, from the University of Brasília. Professor Melo carried out a study on the dialect spoken by these Gypsies.[11]
