'''Itanhaém''' is a municipality in the state of [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]] in [[Brazil]]. It is part of the Metropolitan Region of [[Baixada Santista]].<ref>[http://www.al.sp.gov.br/repositorio/legislacao/lei.complementar/1996/lei.complementar-815-30.07.1996.html Assembleia Legislativa do Estado de São Paulo, Lei Complementar Nº 815]</ref> The population is 103,102 (2020 est.) in an area of 601.85&nbsp;km².<ref name="IBGE">{{cite web |title=Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics|url=http://ftp.ibge.gov.br/Estimativas_de_Populacao/Estimativas_2018/estimativa_dou_2018_20181019.pdf |year=2018 |quote=2018 Estimates of Population |access-date=6 March 2019}}</ref> The elevation is 4 m.


==Location==
'''Itanhaém''' is a municipality in the state of [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]] in [[Brazil]]. The population in 2004 is 85,294, the density is 142.39/km² and the area is 599 km². The elevation is 0 m. This place name comes from the [[Tupi language|Tupi]] word ''[[wiktionary:itá|itá]]''-''[[wiktionary:nha'ẽ|nha'ẽ]]'', meaning the ''plate of rock''. Some other tupinologists (people who study the ancient language Tupi, spoken by the Indians back in the 16th century) think itanhaém means, ita = rock - and nhaém = that cries; due to the rocky coast and the waves that constantly hit it. Itanhaém was among the hottest tour destinations in the State of São Paulo, back at the end of the 70's. Located in the Southeastern Brazil, the region is surrounded by the tropical Atlantic Forest that shelters many tropical animals such as colorful birds named [[Saíra]] (many subspecies) and animals such as [[Jaguar|Onças]] (Brazilian Jaguars), [[Quatis]] and [[Saruês]]. Itanhaém has many beautiful beaches: Downtown beach (Centro or Boca da Barra), Fishermen's Beach (Praia dos Pescadores); Dream Beach (Praia do Sonho); Indians' Well Beach (Poço dos Índios), Peruíbe Beach (Praia do Peruíbe) and Seagull Beach (Praia do Gaivota). Other beaches are located in Peruíbe (20 km southwards) and in the Juréia Natural Reserve, the most preserved and biggest sanctuary of The Atlantic Forest in Brazil, sheltering endemic species such as the [[Purple Head Parrot]] or [[Papagaio da Cara Roxa]] as it is named in Brazilian Portuguese. The most important river in the region is located in Itanhaém (Itanhaém River) and its tributary streams such as the Black and the White rivers make sinuous paths into the forest towards the foot of the [[Sea Mountain Range]] where there are many, if not, hundreds of waterfalls. Itanhaém can be reached in 1 1/2 hours by car from the city of São Paulo (130,000 km²), the capital of the State of São Paulo.

The name Itanhaém comes from the [[Tupi language|Tupi]] word ''[[wiktionary:itá|itá]]''-''[[wiktionary:nha'ẽ|nha'ẽ]]'', meaning the ''plate of rock''. Some other Tupinologists (people who study the ancient language Tupi, spoken by the natives back in the 16th century) believe itanhaém means, ita = rock - and nhaém = that cries; due to the rocky coast and the waves that constantly hit it.

Itanhaém was among the greatest tour destinations in the State of São Paulo, in the late-1970s. Located in the Southeastern Brazil, the region is surrounded by the tropical Atlantic Forest that shelters many tropical animals such as colorful birds named [[Saíra]] (many subspecies) and animals such as [[Jaguar|Onças]] (Brazilian Jaguars), [[Coati|Quatis]] and [[Saruês]]. Itanhaém has many beaches: Downtown beach (Centro or Boca da Barra), Fishermen's Beach (Praia dos Pescadores); Dream Beach (Praia do Sonho); Indians' Well Beach (Poço dos Índios), Peruíbe Beach (Praia do Peruíbe) and Seagull Beach (Praia da Gaivota).

Other beaches are located in Peruíbe, once part of Itanhaém's territory (20&nbsp;km southwards) and in the [[Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station]], the best preserved and biggest sanctuary of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil, sheltering endemic species such as the [[Red-tailed amazon]] (Brazilian Portuguese: ''papagaio-de-cara-roxa''). Among some of the most popular places in Peruibe, there are the falls of Pereque and Paraiso (Paradise), both forming lakes and waterholes deep enough for a dive among pitus (freshwater shrimp) and lambaris (freshwater fish). The most popular beaches are the ones of Barra do Una (this one on the border of the Municipality of Iguape), Carambore, Desertinha, Juquia, Paranapua, Brava, Guarau and Little Guarau ou Guarauzinho; all of them very close to Itanhaém.

The most important river in the region is located in Itanhaém (Itanhaém River) and its tributary streams such as the Black and the White rivers make sinuous paths into the forest towards the foot of the [[Serra do Mar]] where there are many, if not hundreds, of waterfalls. Itanhaém can be reached in 1½ hours by car from the city of São Paulo (130,000&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>), the capital of the State of São Paulo.

The municipality contains part of the [[Tupiniquins Ecological Station]].<ref>{{citation |title=Unidade de Conservação: Estação Ecológica dos Tupiniquins|publisher=MMA: Ministério do Meio Ambiente |url=http://sistemas.mma.gov.br/cnuc/index.php?ido=relatorioparametrizado.exibeRelatorio&relatorioPadrao=true&idUc=71|access-date=2016-04-18}}</ref>

Location

[edit]

The name Itanhaém comes from the Tupi word itá-nha'ẽ, meaning the plate of rock. Some other Tupinologists (people who study the ancient language Tupi, spoken by the natives back in the 16th century) believe itanhaém means, ita = rock - and nhaém = that cries; due to the rocky coast and the waves that constantly hit it.

Itanhaém was among the greatest tour destinations in the State of São Paulo, in the late-1970s. Located in the Southeastern Brazil, the region is surrounded by the tropical Atlantic Forest that shelters many tropical animals such as colorful birds named Saíra (many subspecies) and animals such as Onças (Brazilian Jaguars), Quatis and Saruês. Itanhaém has many beaches: Downtown beach (Centro or Boca da Barra), Fishermen's Beach (Praia dos Pescadores); Dream Beach (Praia do Sonho); Indians' Well Beach (Poço dos Índios), Peruíbe Beach (Praia do Peruíbe) and Seagull Beach (Praia da Gaivota).

Other beaches are located in Peruíbe, once part of Itanhaém's territory (20 km southwards) and in the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station, the best preserved and biggest sanctuary of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil, sheltering endemic species such as the Red-tailed amazon (Brazilian Portuguese: papagaio-de-cara-roxa). Among some of the most popular places in Peruibe, there are the falls of Pereque and Paraiso (Paradise), both forming lakes and waterholes deep enough for a dive among pitus (freshwater shrimp) and lambaris (freshwater fish). The most popular beaches are the ones of Barra do Una (this one on the border of the Municipality of Iguape), Carambore, Desertinha, Juquia, Paranapua, Brava, Guarau and Little Guarau ou Guarauzinho; all of them very close to Itanhaém.

The most important river in the region is located in Itanhaém (Itanhaém River) and its tributary streams such as the Black and the White rivers make sinuous paths into the forest towards the foot of the Serra do Mar where there are many, if not hundreds, of waterfalls. Itanhaém can be reached in 1½ hours by car from the city of São Paulo (130,000 km2), the capital of the State of São Paulo.

The municipality contains part of the Tupiniquins Ecological Station.[5]

The city is served by Antônio Ribeiro Nogueira Jr. Airport
