Taubate

Taubaté combines the working rhythm of an industrial centre with the broad setting of the Paraíba Valley in a way that reflects its position between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The city lies in the Vale do Paraíba, a major corridor shaped by the Paraíba do Sul River and flanked in the wider region by the Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira. Taubaté is closely associated with writer Monteiro Lobato, born here in 1882; his children’s stories, especially the world of Sítio do Picapau Amarelo, remain a lasting reference in Brazilian literature. Older civic buildings stand alongside the practical urban fabric of a city long tied to regional industry, education and transport.
