Limeira, located about 150 km from the capital of São Paulo, is known not only as the “National Jewelry Capital”, but also as the “National Orange Capital”, a title that reflects its large participation in the sector, since it is responsible for producing more than 11 million tons of the fruit during the harvest.
Because of these two vocations, Limeira attracts thousands of visitors every month, whether for its sparkling jewelry stores or the historic farms that preserve the legacy of orange production that boosted the local economy in the 19th century.
