Santa Vitória do Palmar

Santa Vitória do Palmar extends across 5,244 square kilometers of land between Lagoa Mirim and the Atlantic Ocean at Brazil's southernmost point.

The municipality's establishment in 1872 marked a strategic development for Brazil's border control and regional administration in Rio Grande do Sul.

The population of 29,483 residents maintains connections with both Brazilian and Uruguayan traditions through regular cross-border interactions and shared celebrations.

Federal highway BR-471 connects the municipality to Porto Alegre at 504 kilometers north and Montevideo at 370 kilometers south.

Four stones from the Santa Vitoria do Palmar meteorite were discovered near the municipality between 2003 and 2004.
