Its population is about 300 thousand people; its economy is based mainly on tourist agencies, government, and universities. Recently, it was chosen one of the The Ten Most Dynamic Cities by Newsweek magazine. But it has been chosen as the city with the best quality of life in Brazil many times before that.
