Sao Mateus is a municipality situated in Espirito Santo state. Sao Mateus is situated at 36 m above sea level. This is Portuguese for St. Mathews. The name being Portuguese makes us relate to a strong Portuguese settlement earlier and this influence made this place also be called so. In earlier days there were various tribes of people who migrated to more fulfilling lands and made such lands their home. The weather is kind of hot and most of the areas are deserts but the diversity in landscapes is so much that as much as there are deserts there are islands as well. So, there are beaches and islands and the airport in the city encourages a lot of visitors to come and visit this place.
