Santos: Parque Estadual Xixová Japuí - Trilha do Curtume - São Vicente
Parque Estadual Xixová-Japuí combines coastal Atlantic Forest with the built-up edge of Baixada Santista in a way that reflects its position on Santos Bay. Spread across coastal hills between São Vicente and Praia Grande, the reserve protects a surviving stretch of Mata Atlântica in one of São Paulo state's most densely settled coastal areas. The Trilha do Curtume belongs to this protected setting, where forest reaches the shore and the bay opens towards Santos. On the bay's western side, São Vicente is traditionally recognised as Brazil's first Portuguese town, founded in 1532 by Martim Afonso de Sousa. Together with neighbouring Santos, it forms part of a major port-region conurbation.

Santos sits on the Santos Estuary on Brazil’s São Paulo coast, where the Serra do Mar rises behind a dense port city. Home to the Port of Santos, it has long been a major link between Brazil’s interior and international shipping routes. The city spreads across São Vicente Island and the mainland, with beaches facing Santos Bay and working channels along the estuary. In the historic centre, the former Coffee Exchange now houses the Coffee Museum, recalling Santos’s central place in the coffee-export trade. Santos FC, founded in 1912, is another enduring local reference, closely associated with Pelé’s career.

São Paulo is best known within Brazil for its influential coffee-growing interior, and Bauru lies in the state’s west-central zone. Set on the plateau of inland São Paulo, the city developed as a railway junction and remains a service, education and commercial centre for neighbouring municipalities. Its waterways belong to the wider Tietê River basin, an important drainage system of southeastern Brazil. Bauru also lends its name to the Bauru sandwich, a Brazilian classic traditionally made with roast beef, melted cheese, tomato and pickled cucumber. Broad avenues, farmland and seasonal tropical weather give the area a character far removed from Brazil’s Atlantic coast.

Brazil has served as a Portuguese colonial link between Europe and South America since the 16th century. Its immense territory extends from the Amazon River basin in the north to the Atlantic coast, with the Pantanal wetlands and Brazilian Highlands creating very different regions inland. Rio de Janeiro sits beside Guanabara Bay beneath Sugarloaf Mountain, while Brasília is known for its planned layout and modernist buildings by Oscar Niemeyer. Portuguese is the official language, and football, regional cuisines and Carnival celebrations are central to public life across the country.
