Campos de Piratininga

Campos de Piratininga

The Fields of Piratininga is the relatively plain territory at the top of the Serra do Mar just off the cities of Santos and São Vicente in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. It is the place of settlement of the village of São Paulo dos Campos de Piratininga, now the biggest and richest city in Brazil.

Other cities there are São Bernardo da Borda do Campo, Santo André da Borda do Campo and the rest of the Greater São Paulo. The limit of the Campos de Piratininga on the 700 meters high coastal wall of the Serra do Mar is fittingly called Borda do Campo, or the Border of the Field.
