Peruíbe, Coastal municipality in São Paulo, Brazil

The municipality stretches along the southern coast of São Paulo state, encompassing 311 square kilometers of Atlantic rainforest and coastal plains at 8 meters elevation.

Portuguese settlers and Jesuit missionaries established the region in 1549, where Father Leonardo Nunes built the first church, now known as Abarebebê Ruins.

The municipality preserves two Tupi-Guarani indigenous settlements and maintains traditional fishing communities that practice ancestral maritime customs.

Visitors can reach Peruíbe by taking regular buses from São Paulo's Jabaquara terminal, with services departing every 30 minutes for a two-hour journey.

The local Archaeological Museum displays black mud deposits that inhabitants have used for medicinal treatments since pre-colonial times.
