About this activity
Escape São Paulo's urban sprawl on a full-day immersive hike through a protected ecosystem within the city limits, featuring pristine trails, waterfalls, springs, and exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities across 500+ bird and animal species.
Get away from the rush of São Paulo and immerse yourself in nature taking a full-day tour visiting a city-protected park in the outlying area of the town. After pick-up at the meeting points, we drive to this impressive preserved park about 2:30 h towards the extreme of the city of São Paulo, but still within the city limits.
On the way, there are viewpoints with scenic sceneries, historic sites, small rural communities, all locations ideal for photo stops and contemplation. Soon enough, you arrive at a peaceful private farm. The property’s owner greets tourists and wishes them a good adventure ahead. In the meantime, she prepares a delicious lunch with fresh ingredients produced locally.
