THE REGION - History

Ubatuba was founded on October 28th, 1638. The Tupinambás Indians were the original inhabitants of the region and they lived peacefully with their neighbors from São Vicente, The Tupiniquins Indians, until the arrival of Portuguese and French explorers.

The tribes were convinced by the Europeans to start a war against each other, until they decided to join forces, get their independence from the Europeans and form the "Confederação dos Tamoios" (“Tamoios Confederation”). 

In1563, in order to control their rebellion, Jesuits Manoel da Nóbrega and José de Anchieta arrived in the region known as “Aldeia de Iperoig” (Iperoig Village), to pacify the Indians. 
        
As the Tamoios were suspicious of their real intentions, they kidnapped Anchieta for five months, until a peace agreement ( "A Paz de Iperoig" – “Iperoig Peace”) was settled. Some historians believe that during his hostage period, Anchieta wrote some of the 4.172 verses from his famous “ Poem to Virgin Mary” (“Poema à Virgem") .
