São Pedro da Aldeia, Coastal municipality in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
São Pedro da Aldeia extends over 340 square kilometers along the Araruama Lagoon, with neighborhoods ranging from 2 to 5 meters above sea level.
The settlement emerged in 1660 when Catholic priests constructed a chapel on a hilltop, which later transformed into the central church of the municipality.
The residents of São Pedro da Aldeia maintain traditional occupations in salt extraction and fishing industries, forming the backbone of local economic activities.
The municipality operates multiple bus lines, including routes 504, 510, and 520, connecting residential areas to the municipal polyclinic and other essential services.
The Araruama Lagoon bordering São Pedro da Aldeia contains the highest salt concentration of any coastal lagoon system in Brazil.
