KNOWLEDGE OF Varginha

Varginha is a city and municipality in southwest Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The estimated population is approximately 120,000 inhabitants and the area of the municipality is 396.39 km2. The elevation is 950 mts.

The city has an excellent location between Belo Horizonte and São Paulo and nearby one of the country's most important and busiest highways, the BR-381, or Rodovia Fernão Dias, which has recently been widened to four lanes.

Varginhia is the second largest producer of coffee in the country, which has brought prosperity to the city and aided the rapid population growth.

Ranked among the top cities in the country in standard of living (life expectancy: 73.6; average years of study: 6.15) the city has fifteen health centers in the neighborhoods, three hospitals--one specializing in heart surgery--and two emergency units to attend the population. There is also a regional center for treatment of cancer, which serves a population of three million people in the south of Minas Gerais.

Varginha achieved a certain fame in UFO circles due to the so-called Varginha incident in 1996, in which two ET extraterrestial beings were allegedly spotted by locals and later captured by Brazilian army forces.

After this episode known as the "visit from the ET", the city began to invest in "UFO tourism". Today there are bus stops with the shape of spaceships, a huge water tower in the center of the city also in the shape of a spaceship; all with lights and considered quite attractive.
