Day Trip to Campos do Jordão

Do you want to get away from the heat of Sao Paulo? Campos do Jordão, known as the 'Brazilian Switzerland', is the perfect place. Fall in love with its wooden houses and alpine scenery!

Description

We'll leave Sao Paulo at the indicated time and after a 2-hour journey, we'll reach Campos do Jordão, located 5577 feet (1,700 metres) above sea level. This is the most famous winter destination in the state of Sao Paulo, welcoming thousands of visitors in both winter and summer months for mountain activities. Upon arrival, we'll explore key locations such as the Boa Vista Palace, currently home to the state governor, and learn about its history.

We'll discover the Vila Inglesa and Alto Capivari neighborhoods and the Ducha de Prata waterfall, which features a craft market. As we explore this picturesque town filled with wooden houses and alpine scenery, you'll feel as though you're in Switzerland, just a short drive from Sao Paulo.

Next, we'll head to Vila Capivari, where you'll have some free time to explore, ride a funicular train, shop for souvenirs, and have lunch. Save room for dessert; on our way back to Sao Paulo, we'll stop at a chocolate factory to buy local chocolates, regional wines, cheese, and sweets.

We'll return to Sao Paulo between 6 and 7 pm.
