City

Botucatu

South America

Botucatu is a city in the southeastern region of Brazil, about 224.8 km from São Paulo, the capital of the state of São Paulo. The 2022 census counted 145,155 people in an area of 1,482.64 square kilometres, and the elevation ranges from 756 to 920 metres above sea level. It became a village in 1855 and a city in 1876. The climate is humid subtropical with dry, cold winters and hot, wet summers, and a breeze from the São Paulo plateau cools the city, which is where its name comes from. Its biggest employer is UNESP, one of the state universities, which makes it a centre for medical and agricultural research and education. Industry includes an Embraer subsidiary, Neiva, that builds crop spraying aircraft, and two bus bodywork builders.
