With a population of just 48,036, São Bento is no bustling metropolis. The historic Benedictine abbey and college may draw visitors, but the reality is a sleepy town with a persistent bureaucratic headache. While the ornate Baroque church and its gold-leaf interiors are undoubtedly impressive, navigating the local administration is a far less glamorous affair. This quaint community is best suited for those seeking a quiet, traditional lifestyle - just don't expect the excitement of a major Brazilian city.
