It's the state capital for Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil, and Campo Grande is a large city with all the features a tourist could need. There aren't a huge number of attractions or sight-seeing destinations but you can take some great day-trips to other nearby spots from Campo Grande.
The Dom Bosco Museum is one of the best museums in Campo Grande and it covers the natural history of the area as well as the native cultures of Brazil. It's also known as the Indian Museum because of its focus on indigenous people. Artefacts from centuries of history are part of their collections, and the museum is part of the Dom Bosco Catholic University.
Parque das Nacoes Indigenas
Parque das Macoes Indigenas is a huge urban park were you can go walking on meandering trails and see the lake, or find a few new restaurants to try. Within the park area are several museums (such as the above mentioned Dom Bosco Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art) and more. There are several other city parks in Campo Grande as well, such as the Aryton Senna Park, Ary Coelho Plaza (with a huge fountain) and the Itanhanga Park that has a playground for the kids too.
The Oshiro Takamari Park is another, and it’s home to the Aboriginal Fair where native vendors sell all kinds of handicrafts and souvenirs.
Local Eco-Tourism
Campo Grande is actually best known as being an entry-point for many other eco-tourism destinations in the area. For example, the Bonito caves aren't too far away, where you can take a tour to see the underground caverns. The deep blue lake there is quite a sight itself. Aquidauana is another place not far away that has a lot of natural beauty and places to see for hikers and backpackers.
The Pantanal Conservation Area is also near Campo Grande, and it’s one of the world's largest wetlands. Many eco-tourists head to Pantanal when they are travelling through Campo Grande. Visiting these marshlands can give you a chance to see the rare capybara, giant river otters, macaws and even the jaguar.
