Founded on March 19, 1852, by Luiz Antonio da Silveira, whom donated some of his properties owned in the name of his patron saint, Sao Jose(St. Joseph),to begin a villa later to be known as Sao Jose do Rio Preto.

There are a lot of places to visit in Rio Preto. You may care to go eat at one of many different restaurants which most are of good service and good prices. With the strength of the US dollar, it makes your purchase that much more a bang for your buck. The nightclubs are very frequented and generally only close when the last patron leaves the premise. Consider watching a rodeo visited by thousands from the region . It is very popular. And, don't forget to simply relax. A visit to the municipal reserve, locally known as repressa is a favorite with all. During the night, its surroundings are always occupied with young lovers participating in the sport(LOL) of parking. Its wonderful radiance at night is very admired. During the day, a visit tothe library located very near the repressa is worth the visit too. Its architectural design is truly remarkable. It has a endless supply of books and magazines,among english publications too. You will know are at the library when its outer walls resemble a tarantula spider. Adjacent to the library heading towards the center of town you will view a outdoor market of vendors of arts and crafts as well. Good shopping for souvenirs. Close

Rio Preto is truly blessed with a wonderful center of town. Its heart is filled with trees and birds whom migrate from the United States each and every year. The beautiful water fountain is a site to see.
There are many shops adjacent to the center for visitors and locals as well. The post office located heading away from town is a favorite for stamp collectors, since Brazil is known for its very colorful stamps placed into circulation.
A block away, you'll find the town bus station constantly busy, for Rio Preto is a major interior city of Sao Paulo for its commerce.
There are several outside cafes and restuarants outlining the center. It is worth ordering a traditional cuisine of feijao (black bean), arroz(rice) and carne(meat). Don't forget a plentiful salad with its selection of garnishes.
You will find many of the city's main country club city facilities nearby too. Like Palestra and Monte Libano.
There are each day, street vendors outlining the sidewalks and core of the park. You will find extremely good deals here. One thing to remember. Competition is the lifestyle, so barter for a better price. It is acceptable and fun too. You will find fine leather belts for only five dollars, and upon bartering, may lower the price to about four dollars, if anticipating to buy a dozen or so. The vast rectangular shape of the center of the city park has terrific choices. Pickpockets are not a major concern, but for the ones whom look like easy prey, they will be had as in any town. Tip: Carry your wallet in front pocket.

This Brazilian interior city in the state of Sao Paulo is where one gets a lot of their orange juice when Florida's weather is too cold. The surrounding regions are abundant with acres upon acres of coffee plants and orange groves. To mention the name of Sao Jose do Rio Preto in Brazil is to mention a successful city bound for unlimited boundaries. The city is celebrating its 146 year of existance. To understand good government practices for its citizens, one most not look any further. It is commended for its personal growth and that of the surrounding regions. Its futuristic insight shall make it an even stronger city where others will fail to materialize. The growth of its city has far outpaced its past. Mark my words: Today, you may have learned a new city and tomorrow you will be sure to know it even better. In the last fifty years this city has grown from a minor to city to that of reknown importance. The first explosion was its civil construction, followed by that of its industrial revolution. Along these lines, it followed with one of the area's biggest education expansions to have become a city only fifty years ago known for its agriculture industries. With the introduction in 1947 of FAAP (Foundation Armando Alvares Penteado), the surrounding cities have enjoyed a splendor of arts,culture and education. This individual upon his death endowed his entire estate to the continued expansions of art and culture. So, someday, visit my favorite city, the one closest to my heart, and you will be at home as well.Close
