Tatuí

Tatuí is a municipality in interior São Paulo located at approximately 645 meters above sea level. The city features several parks and recreational areas throughout its urban landscape.

The settlement was founded in 1826 when Jesuit missionaries established a community to connect with Indigenous groups in the São Paulo region. This early mission laid the foundation for what would become the municipality.

The Conservatório Dramático e Musical Dr. Carlos de Campos has shaped the city's cultural identity for decades, drawing students from across Brazil and beyond. This focus on music education influences how locals and visitors understand the place.

The location serves as a transportation hub with several highways connecting to neighboring municipalities and regional centers. Visitors can easily travel to other cities in the area and explore the wider region.

The name comes from the Tupi language and means River of Armadillos, reflecting the indigenous heritage of this Brazilian region. This linguistic connection reminds visitors of the original inhabitants of the area.
