About this activity
Explore São Paulo's natural and cultural identity on a private 8-hour journey through Serra do Mar State Park, where a 9 km walk winds through Atlantic Forest hillsides with panoramic views of valleys, coastal cities, and Brazil's first Portuguese settlement. This rare combination of ecological immersion and historical perspective reveals the landscape that shaped São Paulo's development.
Understand the rich history of São Paulo and Brazil from a different perspective in the middle of the Atlantic Forest, with the contemplation of historical monuments and unforgettable views of valleys and coastal areas through a set of hills.
The Serra do Mar State Park is about 50 km from São Paulo downtown accessible by car in about 1 h. This astonishing mount range extends along the south and southeast coast of Brasil providing us with breathtaking views.
The walk has a total length of 9 km and lasts about 5 hours, round trip, taking place on a paved old winding road with a light level of difficulty, in the middle of the Atlantic Forest.
On clear days, visitors have a view of the coast and a set of cities including the first Portuguese settlement in Brasil, the city of Saint Vincent.
The place is home to a precious environmental heritage of great scenic beauty, in addition to a historical-cultural collection that marks periods of development of the state of São Paulo.

Insider tips
- ★Visit on a clear morning to maximise coastal and city views; afternoon clouds often obscure distant vistas
- ★Wear layers—higher elevations cool quickly, and Atlantic Forest moisture creates microclimates
- ★The paved road surface means standard hiking boots or sturdy trainers work well; trail shoes unnecessary
- ★Ask your guide about the historical significance of São Vicente and colonial-era trade routes visible from viewpoints
