🇧🇷 Cabreúva is a municipality (município) in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The elevation is 640 m. The city takes its name from the Cabreúva tree (Myrocarpus frondosus), known as Kaburé-Iwa ("owl tree") in Tupi language.

History The city was established in the beginning of 18th century by a member of the Martins e Ramos family, from the city of Itu, who followed the Tietê River to this place in a valley between the three mountains Japi, Guaxatuba and Taguá. Sugar cane was planted in the area for distilled beverage production, which earned the city its nickname Terra da Pinga.

Geography The landscape is dominated by the mountains (Japi, Guaxatuba and Taguá) and the Tietê river. The altitudes vary between 640 m in the centre of the city up to 1,200 m Serra do Japi. The area of the city is 260 km², of which 96 km² are urban and 165 km² are rural.

Communications The city was served by Companhia Telefônica Brasileira (CTB) until 1973, when it began to be served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo (TELESP), which built the telephone exchange used to the present day. In 1998 this company was privatized and sold to Telefônica, and in 2012 the company adopted the Vivo brand for its fixed telephony operations.

Culture The historic centre houses the Mother Church of Nossa Senhora da Piedade, erected in 1856 with resources from the community and farmers of the time.

Cabreúva also hosts two important temples of the Buddhist tradition, the Kadampa Brazil Meditation Center, the largest Buddhist temple in Latin America and the Sakya Monastery, located in the city center.
