Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Industrial municipality in Pernambuco, Brazil
Jaboatão dos Guararapes extends over 256 square kilometers along the Atlantic coast, featuring three urban beaches and numerous commercial districts north of Recife.
The region gained prominence during the 1648 and 1649 battles against Dutch forces, leading to their expulsion from northeastern Brazil through local resistance.
The Church of Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres, constructed in 1656, stands at Montes Guararapes, marking the birthplace of Brazilian military traditions.
The city connects to Recife International Airport through multiple bus lines and metro services, with stations spread across main residential neighborhoods.
The name originates from Yapoatan trees, which indigenous people used for crafting ship masts before Portuguese colonization of the area.
