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.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
