Ribeirão Preto, Metropolitan area in São Paulo, Brazil

Located in northeastern São Paulo state at 583 meters elevation, Ribeirão Preto spans across fertile lands near the Black Creek and Pardo River.

The region transformed from a small settlement in 1856 into the largest coffee producer globally by 1880, attracting immigrants and establishing the Mogiana Railway.

The Pedro II Theater stands as one of Brazil's largest opera houses, presenting performances throughout the year and maintaining classical architectural elements.

Three transportation companies operate 300 buses on 113 lines throughout the city, while Leite Lopes Airport connects to major Brazilian destinations.

The city shifted its agricultural focus from coffee to sugarcane production after 1929, developing into a technological center specializing in health and biotechnology.
