Nova Mutum reveals itself through striking contrasts: monuments recall the pioneer farmers and the development of the municipality, while agrotechnology tourism offers insights into modern agriculture. Feira Félix Soupinski and Lago do Semeador also provide a glimpse of commerce, local products and recreation. So, when planning your trip, the first question is which side interests you most: the town’s history, agricultural processes or everyday market and leisure life. The monuments tell the story of the town; a visit to a farm turns the focus to agricultural processes. This distinction can help you choose the focus that matters most to you on your trip.

Monuments and Remembrance in Nova Mutum

“O Semeador” is considered an icon of the town. The statue depicts the biblical figure of the sower and commemorates the pioneer farmers who made Nova Mutum their home. The image thus connects a religious figure with the history of the agricultural settlers. Information panels with QR codes stand at the historic monuments, allowing visitors to learn more about the town’s significant symbols. The explanations provide a shared context for the monuments: they refer to different aspects of Nova Mutum’s development and community.

The other monuments each highlight a different theme. The “Monumento em Homenagem ao Cooperativismo de Crédito” represents the importance of credit cooperatives in the community since its earliest days. The “Monumento Locomotiva a Vapor” honors the pioneers and colonizers who developed Nova Mutum into a prosperous municipality. Erected in 2018, the “Monumento Colonizadores de Nova Mutum” depicts José Aparecido Ribeiro and Hilda Strenger Ribeiro. The “Monumento da Santa” takes a different approach: carved from angelim wood, it depicts Nossa Senhora Aparecida, Nossa Senhora do Perpétuo Socorro and the Divino Espírito Santo. In this way, community, agricultural and religious connections stand side by side.

Agrotechnology and Farm Experiences

Nova Mutum is positioning itself as a destination for applied agrotechnology tourism, with experiences taking place directly at the farms themselves. One specific example is Fazenda Piracema. On technical tours, visitors can observe modern machinery and precision-farming systems. The experience also offers insights into processes related to sowing, planting, harvesting and crop management. The focus, then, is on agricultural operations: machinery and precision systems show a different side of the subject than the monuments, which recall the pioneers and the municipality’s development.

The tourism offering also includes an activity where you can learn about the production processes behind craft-brewed beer. Confirm the visit program before your trip. The two topics offer different perspectives: Fazenda Piracema focuses on machinery and precision farming, while the beer activity focuses on the brewing process.

Market Life and Recreation

Feira Félix Soupinski offers another way to experience local life. It is an important hub of popular retail, where independent vendors and family farmers offer fresh produce, handmade items and other goods. The mix of food, crafts and a wide variety of products makes the market a distinct focus alongside monuments and farm visits: here, products and commerce take center stage.

Lago do Semeador is an important place for recreation and socializing in Nova Mutum. It attracts families, athletes and tourists, adding a recreational destination to the cultural and agricultural themes. Visitors to Nova Mutum can keep a range of interests in mind: the stories behind the monuments, insights into agricultural processes, market products and the lake as a place to gather.
