Iporanga, Municipality in São Paulo state, Brazil.
Iporanga is a municipality in southeastern São Paulo covering a large forested area with multiple protected natural zones. The territory features heavily wooded hills, river valleys, and regions known for cave systems and distinctive geological formations.
The area grew from early settlements into a formal municipality, later becoming central to conservation efforts in the state. This shift made it a focal point for protecting natural habitats in the region.
The municipality is home to quilombo communities whose agricultural traditions and ways of life shape the local character. These groups maintain practices passed down through generations that you can see in how they work the land and organize their settlements.
The administrative center is located in the town center with offices open during normal business hours. Visitors can find local services and information there to assist with navigation and inquiries.
