Aragarças Airport is a small airfield that serves mainly private aircraft with one single paved runway.

[citation needed] It is one of the most visited touristic points in the state, especially in the months of June and July, when enormous sandbanks are exposed on the Araguaia River, creating kilometers of pristine beaches.

The first penetration into the region now occupied by Aragarças occurred in 1872 by a group of prospectors seeking diamonds from Mato Grosso.

In the 1950s Aragarça, the name given to the settlement and made up of the name of the Araguaia River and its tributary the Garças, was the center of the government campaign to open up the east of Mato Grosso.

Aragarças experiences a tropical savanna climate (Köppen: Aw) with hot temperatures and distinct wet and dry seasons.
