Porto Feliz has great importance in the history of São Paulo. Due to its strategic<br />

position regarding the Tietê River, it was one of the key starting points of Bandeirantes towards<br />

the inner part of the country. Such importance is marked by Monções Park that was registered<br />

as a historic site, holding several historical monuments and holdovers.<br />
