Sao Joao da Boa Vista

São João da Boa Vista sits at the foothills of the Serra da Mantiqueira in São Paulo state, where the uplands of southeastern Brazil meet the coffee-growing country of the Mogiana region. The city developed in an area shaped by the nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century coffee economy, and coffee remains an important reference point for local rural life and regional identity. Its setting differs markedly from the vast metropolis of São Paulo: rolling inland terrain, farms and smaller urban centres define this part of the state. The Serra da Mantiqueira signals the transition toward higher country near the Minas Gerais border.
