≡November 13th is Bandeirante
November 13th is Bandeirante Day in Brazil. This date honors the bandeirantes, explorers and trailblazers who played a crucial role in the territorial expansion of Brazil during the 17th and 18th centuries, especially in the interior regions of the country. The origin of Bandeirante Day dates back to the historical importance of the bandeirantes in the formation of Brazil. The bandeirantes were, for the most part, men who set out from São Paulo on expeditions in search of gold, precious stones, slaves and land. They were fundamental to the occupation and exploration of the interior of Brazil, contributing to the expansion of the borders of the Brazilian territory. The date was chosen in honor of these explorers, recognizing their impact on history and the formation of the national identity. The bandeirante is considered an emblematic figure in the history of São Paulo and, by extension, in the history of Brazil.
