Boituva

Boituva is a municipality in São Paulo state that sits on elevated land and shows characteristics of an agricultural region. The town has a modest center with surrounding rural areas where farming remains an important part of local life.

Settlement in Boituva started in the late 18th century when pioneers arrived via the Sorocabana Railway and established farming communities in the region. This early phase shaped the area's economic foundation and development for many decades.

The annual Boituvana celebration on September 6 commemorates the municipality's independence with music, traditional food, and community gatherings that reflect local identity. These events show how residents connect with their roots and shared past.

The municipality is located roughly 110 kilometers from São Paulo and connects easily through regional highways and regular bus services. Visitors will find the pace slower and more relaxed than in the city, making it a suitable day trip option.

Boituva gained recognition as Brazil's first large-scale pineapple growing region and won a gold medal for fruit quality at a national exposition. This achievement established the area's reputation in Brazilian agriculture.
