Araras, Agricultural municipality in São Paulo, Brazil.
Located at 629 meters above sea level, Araras extends across 644 square kilometers within the interior region of São Paulo state.
The municipality of Araras traces its establishment to August 15, 1862, when Bento and José Lacerda Guimarães donated lands for the construction of Nossa Senhora do Patrocínio Church.
The annual celebration of Nossa Senhora do Patrocínio, held on August 15, brings together residents for religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
The municipality maintains numerous educational facilities, healthcare centers, and public services to support its population of over 130,000 residents.
The name Araras derives from the large population of macaws that inhabited the Ribeirão das Furnas region during the city's early development.
