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 San Paulo at the indicated time and after a 2-hour-long journey we'll delve into the Mantiqueira Mountains to reach our destination: Campos do Jordão, a town located 5577 feet (1,700 metres) above sea level. This is the most famous winter destination in the state of Sao Paulo, attracting thousands of visitors year-round seeking mountain activities. Upon arrival, we will explore iconic locations like the Boa Vista Palace, currently home to the state governor, and learn about its history.

We will also visit Vila Inglesa, Alto Capivari, and the Ducha de Prata, a waterfall in town where a craft market is located. Amidst the wooden houses and alpine scenery, you may feel transported to Switzerland. We will then head to the Vila Capivari neighborhood for some free time to explore at your own pace, take a funicular train ride, buy souvenirs, and have lunch. We will stop at a chocolate factory on our return to Sao Paulo, where you can purchase local chocolates, regional wines, cheese, and other sweets.

We'll arrive back in Sao Paulo between 6 and 7 pm.

Hotel pickup

This day trip includes hotel pickup from hotels within a 4 mile (6 km) radius of Praça da Sé. If you're staying outside this area, we will pick you up from number 2355 Avenida Paulista.
