text: Bertioga is a Brazilian municipality of the state of São Paulo in the Baixada Santista. It is part of the Metropolitan Region of the Baixada Santista.
  The population is 64,723 (2020 est.) in an area of 490.15 km2.
  Because it neighbors resort towns, its population fluctuates greatly with the seasons. The more northern parts are dense forests and are virtually unpopulated.  The municipality was created on 19 May 1991. Prior to that it was a part of Santos.
  The municipality contains the  Restinga de Bertioga State Park, created in 2010 to protect an area of mangroves, restinga and dense rainforest. Its limits are Mogi das Cruzes, Biritiba-Mirim and Salesópolis in the north, São Sebastião in the east, Atlantic Ocean to the south with Ilha de Santo Amaro (opposite to the city) and Santos in the west.
  Bertioga is infamously known for being the site where Josef Mengele, a Nazi doctor at Auschwitz, died by drowning in 1979.
  Media
  In telecommunications, the city was served by Companhia Telefônica Brasileira until 1973, when it began to be served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo. In July 1998, this company was acquired by Telefónica, which adopted the Vivo brand in 2012.
  The company is currently an operator of cell phones, fixed lines, internet (fiber optics/4G) and television (satellite and cable).
