Indaiatuba 

A medium-sized Brazilian city located in the state of São Paulo. It has a population of about 250,000 and an area of about 310 sq km (120 sq mi). For someone who is not familiar with the region, they likely only know two things about it: It's near Campinas and has a massive park in it. For the average Brazilian, it's a safe, reasonably affordable, and overall nice place to live.
