The settlement became capital of the Kapitanats São Vicente and the Kapitanats São Paulo after each other. The Jesuits had out São Vicente overcome the drop of the coastal mountains with today's Santos which is covered by tropical rain forests and partly more than 1,000 meters high and carried out the first European settlement foundation in a high basin at around 800 meters over the sea-level on the highland of the Portuguese base located the coast of middle Brazil on the southern tropic.
