Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade

Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade is a Brazilian municipality in Mato Grosso with 16,271 (2020) inhabitants.

The distinct African feeling is also reflected in a yearly festival called Festa do Congo.

One of its main events is the Dança do Congo, which is performed at the ruins of the former igreja matriz — a particular type of colonial Portuguese church.

Aside from those church ruins, which are the main tourist site of the town, there is a small history museum.

[4][5] The town serves as a hub for trips to the Amazon jungle along the upper Guaporé River and the nearby nature reserve Parque Estadual da Serra de Ricardo Franco.
