Botucatu is a city in the southeastern region of Brazil and is located 224.8 km (139.7 mi) from São Paulo, the capital of the state of São Paulo. It has an estimated population of 148,130 (as of 2020) in an area of 1,482.64 km2 (572 sq mi). It lies on the top of a plateau (804 metres (2,638 feet) high). Botucatu became a village in 1855, and a city in 1876. The region has humid-subtropical weather, with dry, cold winters and hot, wet summers. During winter the temperature rarely falls below 2 °C (36 °F). During most of the year, mainly at night, a breeze blowing over São Paulo plateau, from which Botucatu elevates about 200 m (660 ft), cools the city and surroundings; this cold everyday wind from the high plateaus is where the city got its name from.
