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, welcoming thousands of visitors in both winter and summer months seeking mountain activities. Upon arrival, we'll explore the most emblematic places in the town, such as the Boa Vista Palace and learn about its history.

We'll also discover the Vila Inglesa and Alto Capivari neighbourhoods and the Ducha de Prata, a waterfall in the middle of the town with a craft market nearby. The town features wooden houses and alpine scenery creating a Swiss ambiance. Continuing to Vila Capivari, you'll have free time to explore, take a funicular train ride, purchase souvenirs, and have lunch. On the way back to Sao Paulo, we'll stop at a chocolate factory to buy local chocolates, regional wines, cheese, and sweets.

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