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 will reach Campos do Jordão, located 5577 feet (1,700 metres) above sea level. This town is a popular winter destination and attracts visitors year-round seeking mountain activities. Upon arrival, we will explore the town's emblematic locations, including the Boa Vista Palace, the current residence of the state governor, and learn about its history.

We will stop at a chocolate factory on the return to Sao Paulo, where you can purchase local chocolates, regional wines, cheese, and other sweets. We will arrive back in Sao Paulo between 6 and 7 pm.
