Guarulhos, Metropolitan municipality in São Paulo, Brazil
Guarulhos spans across 318 square kilometers at an elevation of 759 meters, forming the second largest population center in São Paulo state.
The settlement originated in 1560 when Jesuit priest Manuel de Paiva established several villages to protect São Paulo de Piratininga from indigenous tribes.
The name derives from Tupi language indigenous people who inhabited the region, translating to people with large eating capacity.
The municipality connects to São Paulo through multiple highways and the CPTM rail system, providing transportation options for its 1.2 million residents.
The São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport, South America's largest air terminal, processes millions of passengers through its three terminal buildings.
