Mato Grosso Extends Morro de Santo Antônio Closure by 180 DaysThe State Secretariat of Environment of Mato Grosso (Sema) has announced a significant extension to the closure of a popular natural site. The suspension of visitation at the Morro de Santo Antônio State Natural Monument, located approximately 30 kilometers from the state capital Cuiabá, has been prolonged by an additional 180 days.
The decision was made to allow for the continuation of essential works. According to the official statement, the closure is necessary for the ongoing construction and services related to the ordering of public use and the infrastructure development of the conservation unit's trails.
This extension means the site will remain inaccessible to the public for a considerable period as authorities work to improve and organize the area. The Morro de Santo Antônio is a notable landmark and natural monument in the region, and its temporary closure is aimed at ensuring better conditions and safety for future visitors once the works are completed.
