Brazil
      city, eastern São Paulo estado (state), Brazil. It lies in the Mantiqueira Mountains at 1,785 feet (544 metres) above sea level at the confluence of the Guaratinguetá Stream and the Paraíba do Sul River, about 40 miles (65 km) from the Atlantic coast. Formerly called Freguesia de Santo Antônio de Guaratinguetá, the settlement was given town status in 1651 and was made the seat of a municipality in 1844.
