About this activity

Escape São Paulo's urban sprawl on this 12-hour private tour to Campos do Jordão, a mountain retreat 1,700 metres above sea level often called Brazil's Switzerland. Discover alpine scenery, colonial architecture, and regional delicacies in one of São Paulo state's most celebrated highland destinations.

Join this day-trip tour going to the charming mountainous town of Campos do Jordão, a destination known as Brazilian Switzerland.

Departing São Paulo, we reach Campos in about 2:30 h, a beautiful city located at 1,700 meters above sea level.

This is the most famous winter city in the state of São Paulo, where, in both hot and cold seasons, thousands of tourists escape to enjoy the mountain activities.

Take a tour of its most emblematic points and get to know its history. Among these places, the Palácio da Boa Vista, Itapeva Peak, Elephant Hill and others.

Make a special stop at Ducha de Prata, a waterfall in the middle of the city, in the surroundings we find a craft fair.

Continue to Vila Capivari, in the heart of Campos, and have free time to eat, walk, shop for typical products and ride a cable car. On the way back to São Paulo, stop at a chocolate factory.
