Jataí occupies a broad Cerrado plateau in southwestern Goiás, Brazil. The municipality lies in the Paraná River basin, and the Rio Claro is among the waterways shaping its rural territory. It is an important agribusiness centre in Goiás, with soybean, maize and cattle production central to the local economy; large farms share the surrounding countryside with surviving Cerrado vegetation. Jataí became a municipality in 1895 and has developed as a regional centre for services and education as well as agriculture. Its name recalls the jataí, a native stingless bee found widely in Brazil. Browse other webcams across Goiás to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
