About
About Taubaté
Taubaté is a medium-sized city in the state of São Paulo, in Paraíba Valley southeastern Brazil. The city that was established in the early 17th century, by Jacques Félixis, is home for an estimated population of 250,000 people, living between São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro.
The second largest city of the Paraíba Valley, Taubaté was the home of actor and film director Amácio Mazaroppi and writer Monteiro Lobato, two renowned personalities of Brazilian culture; there are museums dedicated to each. The city is also an excellent base to explore the North Coast region of the state.
