Guaraci combines fishing opportunities on the Rio Grande with recreational areas by the water and traces of the settlement’s history. These different themes offer ways to tailor your stay to your interests, from the waterside landscape and fishing to local history.

The Rio Grande, Landscape and Fishing

The construction of the Marimbondo Reservoir changed Guaraci’s landscape between 1973 and 1976. Approximately 15 percent of the municipality’s area was flooded by water from the Rio Grande. The riverbanks are associated with fishing tourism and boat trips. Guaraci attracts tourists who fish professionally or as a hobby. In the Pedregal neighborhood, there is a gathering place for anglers on weekends and holidays. This specific timing adds a weekend and holiday dimension to fishing as a broader tourism theme.

Fishing Services and Recreational Spots by the Water

At Ponto do Jatobá, fishing bait such as lambari and tuvira is sold; assistance is also available for batelões and cevas. If these services are important to your plans, you can check the latest details with the provider before visiting. At Marcelo Mata dos Macacos, houseboats can be rented for fishing, recreation and relaxation on the Rio Grande in Guaraci. If interested, ask about availability for your dates.

Lagoa Roberto Azeda, known as “Azedinha,” is a recreational area in Guaraci. A municipal report from 2015 documented the opening of a children’s playground and sand courts for volleyball there, as well as the establishment of an outdoor fitness area. If these facilities are important to your plans, check their condition in advance. Loteamento Riviera, on the banks of the Rio Grande, is used as a recreational area and attracts tourists. A small beach area known as a “prainha” is also part of the tourist offerings along Guaraci’s waterfront.

Settlement History and Events

The settlement’s history includes the Igreja Matriz and a chapel. The Igreja Matriz stands at the site where the first cross of the Guaraci settlement was erected; a chapel dedicated to Senhor Bom Jesus was built beside this cross. Thus, the church is associated with the site of the first cross, while the chapel is associated with its location beside the cross and its own dedication. For travelers interested in the settlement’s history, both form a cultural theme alongside the recreational spots by the water.

A municipal calendar published in July 2026 listed Show de Férias as part of the events calendar and recorded a second edition. A municipal post from April 2026 reported that Guaraci hosted a stage of the 3rd Callena Sport Fishing in-person tournament.
