Varginha is known throughout Brazil and the world for its cultivation and production of high-quality coffee. It is located in the state of Minas Gerais, equidistant from both Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, 316 kilometers (196 miles) and 390 kilometers (242 miles) respectively. For fans of the extraterrestrial theories, Varginha was the supposed site of two alien spottings and captures in 1996. As a result, the city has embraced its quirky reputation by investing in UFO tourism, with various spaceship shaped bus stop signs and water towers around town. A few of the local attractions also include Fumas Lake, coffee plantations, the marina and local football matches.
