São Paulo state interior city 1 hour north of the capital — anchored by Unicamp (University of Campinas, one of Latin America's top research universities) and the largest Latin American technology-and-research corridor outside São Paulo proper. Cambuí (the dense walkable cafe-and-bar district) and the Centro are the walkable cores. Same Brazil DNV. The structural draws are São Paulo-adjacent tech employment without São Paulo density, deep university-town culture, and the Caminho dos Bandeirantes regional roads access.
