Queluz, Municipality in Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte region, Brazil
The municipality extends across 249 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 552 meters in São Paulo state between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo cities.
The settlement emerged from a Puri Indian village in 1800, growing around a chapel constructed by Indigenous people and slaves under Father Francisco das Chagas Lima's direction.
The municipality carries the name of the Portuguese palace where Pedro I was born, with São João Batista serving as the patron saint of the local community.
The region maintains numerous coffee farms in areas including Sertão, São José, Restauração, Bela Aurora, Regato, and Cascata, contributing to the agricultural economy.
