Capitão Andrade is a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais, in the Southeast region of Brazil. It is one of the many municipalities that make up Minas Gerais, Brazil's fourth-largest state by area and its second most populous.
The municipality is located in the interior of Minas Gerais, a state known for its colonial-era towns, mountainous terrain, and mining history. Like other municipalities in Brazil, Capitão Andrade is an administrative unit with its own local government, and it forms part of the country's federal structure alongside the states and the national government.
Beyond its status as a municipality within Minas Gerais, detailed and verifiable information about Capitão Andrade is limited. It remains a small, lesser-known community rather than a major urban or tourist centre.
