São Francisco
Brazil, Brazil
São Francisco is the name of several small towns in Brazil, but the best‑known one is a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais, located on the right bank of the São Francisco River in the north of the state.
It is an old riverside town with a modest population, deeply tied to the “Velho Chico” (São Francisco River), whose waters support agriculture, fishing, and local culture. The town is known for its beaches along the river, strong Catholic and folkloric traditions, festivals, cattle‑drive‑style events called vaquejadas, and scenic sunsets over the water, giving it a quiet, traditionally agricultural character in a relatively remote part of inland Brazil.
