nowadays the rio da prata sub-neighborhood is centered on the homonym square and serves as the radiation point of several important roads. the viegas road runs to the north and eventually connects with the snata cruz avenue in the bangu neighborhood.

the morro dos caboclos road goes south and crosses the pedra branca ridge. the cabuçu road goes to the west, eventually reaching the very center of campo grande. finally the batalha road goes east before splitting into three different venues which grant access to different parts of the nearby pedra branca ridge.

regarding rio da prata itself, it's still a very rural sub-neighborhood, with several fields and small woodlands spread around its edge. it contains two good restaurants, the already traditional chumbinho, which occupies a good part of the locale's area, and the casa da dirce, a smaller establishment, placed not too far away - in the general vicinity is also located the municipal school alfredo cesário alvim.
