Your Halifax-to-Cuiabá trip involves connecting airports and roughly 20–30+ hours of travel, so check your ticket carefully: the outline also has you returning to Halifax today, which isn’t realistically compatible with sightseeing in Cuiabá. If you do arrive with time to spare, take an official taxi or ride-hail from Marechal Rondon International Airport (CGB) to Centro—usually about 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic—and confirm your onward flight before leaving the airport. Start at Catedral Basílica do Senhor Bom Jesus de Cuiabá for a quiet 30-minute visit; dress respectfully and check service times, as access may be limited during ceremonies.
From the cathedral, continue through Centro to Museu do Morro da Caixa d’Água Velha, a distinctive former waterworks building that’s worth about 45 minutes. It’s a short ride or a walk of roughly 15–20 minutes between the stops; confirm the museum’s opening hours before setting out, since hours can vary and it may not be open every day.
Head to Choppão in Goiabeiras for regional dishes and an unhurried meal; allow 1–1.5 hours and budget around R$50–100 per person. From there, return to CGB by ride-hail or taxi, allowing extra time for traffic and check-in. Your listed Cuiabá-to-Halifax journey also takes roughly 20–30+ hours with connections, so follow the departure time on your ticket rather than trying to fit this return into the same calendar day; if both flights are indeed dated today, contact the airline to clarify the itinerary.
