Varginha, Coffee trading center in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Located at an elevation of 980 meters, Varginha processes and exports green Arabica coffee through its extensive network of warehouses and distribution centers.
The region's development began in 1780 when muleteers constructed a chapel, leading to the establishment of a settlement initially named Catanduvas.
Italian immigrants in the late 19th century introduced coffee cultivation methods that transformed the municipality into a principal coffee production region.
The municipality connects to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte through major highways and maintains an airport for commercial flights.
In 1996, reported extraterrestrial sightings led to the creation of spaceship-shaped structures throughout the city, including bus stops and water towers.
