Additional Information

Adventure seekers will relish the trek through the Atlantic Forest leading to the pinnacle of São Paulo, the city’s loftiest peak offering an unmatched viewpoint juxtaposing urban and natural splendor.

A 40-minute journey from São Paulo’s city center brings you to Jaraguá state park, a haven for exhausted lungs and weary eyes. Here, one can marvel at the panoramic view of the vast expanse of São Paulo lying amidst one of the city’s remaining patches of the Atlantic Forest.

The hike’s primary aim is to ascend to two viewing spots providing an all-around view of São Paulo from a dizzying height of 1,135 meters, enveloped by stunning natural beauty.

The 3,600-meter pathway is nestled mainly in the shade, with terrain difficulty ranging from easy to medium. The path becomes steeper nearing the end. The summit of the mountain is about 90 minutes of slow-paced walk from the park’s primary entrance.

In terms of wildlife, the trail is peppered with small marmosets leaping between trees, capuchin monkeys, toucans, sloths and more, complementing the rich green landscape.

Best tour to start your travel journey - We went onto an absolutely amazing tour today! Our tour guide Nelio was so knowledgeable, kind and helpful, and we got to enjoy stunning views over São Paulo. The hike through the rain forest was breathtaking and we were lucky enough to see some monkeys. For the first day here this was just the perfect tour to start.

Excellent history and views - The view was really spectacular and Luiz was such a great tour guide. I learnt about the wildlife on the walk up and down which was my favourite part. We also spoke lots about the local history and etymology of words and place names. Very fun tour and would highly recommend.

Tropical plants and monkeys a stone's throw from Sao Paulo - We were accompanied by Luiz to the beautiful Jaraguà park, a tropical forest a few kilometers from São Paulo. We traveled about 3 kilometers surrounded by plants and flowers of all kinds, with a group of cute monkeys to keep us company. The view at the top is breathtaking! Luiz was attentive to our every need and his friendliness made the experience unforgettable.
