The countryside around Pirenopolis and Corumba is a landscape of rare beauty.
As you travel up and down the forested mountainsides and river valleys with perhaps a view of a spectacular waterfall and pass into these old towns with their cobblestone streets and colonial houses you step back in time. The churches with their baroque decoration, the beautifully crafted stone walls, and the old royal roads are interfaced with the scars of enormous stone quarries on the mountains above the towns with serious environmental degradation all around them.
