Living in this remote Jesuit mission town is no picnic - the population is just 7,413, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache. The municipality covers a sprawling 1,246 square kilometers, but the town itself grew up around the 17th century Spanish Jesuit mission ruins, which are now a UNESCO World Heritage site. While the historic churches and museum offer some cultural attractions, the isolated location and limited amenities mean São Miguel das Missões is best suited for die-hard history buffs and those seeking a very quiet, slow-paced lifestyle.
