Álvares Machado

Álvares Machado is a small town in São Paulo that sits across flat to gently rolling terrain marked by farming land. The settlement has a simple street layout with low-rise buildings and open spaces where community life takes place.

The town was established as an independent administrative unit in 1944 when São Paulo's government reorganized the region. Since then, it has developed gradually around its farming base.

Community gatherings here center on sharing regional food and local crafts that reflect agricultural traditions. Residents use these occasions to maintain connections with their heritage and with each other.

The town sits at around 475 meters (1,560 feet) elevation and connects to surrounding municipalities through regional roads. The dry season offers easier access to local roads and surrounding areas.

The Sanctuary Morada de Deus draws visitors from nearby villages seeking spiritual connection. This sacred site serves as a spiritual center for people across the region.
