About CaCeres-mt.com
Cáceres was founded in 1778 on orders of Luis de Albuquerque de Mello Pereira e Cáceres and populated with Chiquitanos from the Spanish Jesuit Missions to the west to secure Portuguese interests in Mato Grosso. It is the uppermost port on the Paraguay River and was U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's last outpost of civilization on the River of Doubt Expedition. Colonel Percy H. Fawcett passed through San Luis de Cáceres while surveying the Brazilian-Bolivian border.
