Santos, Port city in São Paulo state, Brazil.
Santos stretches along São Vicente Island's northern coast, featuring a 5.3-kilometer-long garden that extends the entire length of its Atlantic beaches.
Portuguese nobleman Brás Cubas established Santos in 1546, transforming it from a small settlement into South America's primary coffee export port by the 1900s.
The Coffee Museum, housed in the former coffee exchange building, displays the history of Brazilian coffee production through exhibits and machinery collections.
The city connects to São Paulo through modern highways descending the Serra do Mar mountains, with frequent bus services operating between both cities.
Santos port handles fifty ships simultaneously across its 6-kilometer dock system, processing container traffic for the entire southeastern region of Brazil.
