I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Monica, my tour guide in São Paulo. From the first moment, she was very punctual, kind, and patient. Throughout the entire hike, she explained the history of the hill, the surroundings, and many interesting details about the city and its surroundings with great knowledge. The hike was over 8 km, with a demanding ascent, but every step was worth it. What made this experience really special were the small details: upon arriving at a beautiful spot at the top, she prepared a charming picnic with a beautiful blue checkered tablecloth and a wide variety of food options. She was always attentive to everything I needed and made sure that I felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. On the way back, she introduced me to the music of Rita Lee, explaining to me who this great Brazilian artist was, and she also sent me recommendations for other music-related places that I want to explore in São Paulo. And to complete a perfect day, she took some spectacular photographs for me that will be a wonderful memory of this experience. I highly recommend Monica. Her professionalism, human warmth, and attention to detail made this an excellent experience in São Paulo.

It was an enjoyable walk. Wouldn't recommend it for people that are out of shape. The reward (read, top of the mountain) was great. A great view of the largest city in the world.
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🌿🥾 We’re so glad you enjoyed the hike and that reaching the summit made the effort worthwhile. The panoramic views from Jaraguá Peak are truly unforgettable, and it’s always rewarding to hear that they made such a strong impression. 😊 We also appreciate you pointing out that this experience is best suited for those who are comfortable with a more physically demanding walk. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again on another outdoor adventure in Brazil! 🇧🇷✨

Luis took us on a great tour. We were a party of 12 and he was extremely patient. We saw monkeys, birds and a sloth. The views were incredible from the top. Reward yourself with a very cold coconut drink at the top.

Luis is excellent! Not only does he know the city well, but he knows each & every safe step up & down Pico Do Jaragua. He has traveled extensively outside of Brazil & knows how to connect well with his clients. It was a wonderful morning spent with Luis!

This trip was exceptional. First, you hike through the rainforest, and at the end you’re rewarded with incredible views over São Paulo. Along the way, you can spot interesting wildlife in their natural habitat, especially monkeys. My guide, Luiz, explained the animals and plants of the rainforest in great detail and helped me find monkeys hidden in the tree branches. At the top of the mountain, he also pointed out and explained which parts of São Paulo I was looking at. I was very satisfied.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! 🙏😊 We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your hiking experience in the Jaraguá Park and that Luiz made it even more special with his detailed explanations of the rainforest and wildlife! 🌿🌟 We’re so happy you had such a satisfying experience and were able to enjoy the beautiful views over São Paulo! We hope to welcome you again soon for more adventures! 🌍✨
We had a fantastic experience on the Jaraguá Park tour, and the tour company was excellent from the start. They messaged us the day before to clearly reiterate all the details, including what to expect and what we needed to bring for the hike, which made everything smooth and stress-free. Our group of six included two vegans and four vegetarians, and our guide Rafael went above and beyond. He was incredibly thoughtful and surprised us with a variety of vegan snacks, which we truly appreciated. Rafael was an absolute sweetheart—warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about his city. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about how the city has grown, as well as its history, throughout the hike. His love for the area really came through and made the experience even more special. We had such a great time with him and highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re looking for a guide who is kind, attentive, and truly cares about providing a memorable experience.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience at Jaraguá Park with Rafael, and that he exceeded your expectations. Our goal is always to provide unforgettable experiences, and it’s great to know he contributed to that! Thank you also for the feedback on the tour’s organization. It will be a pleasure to welcome you on more adventures! 🌿🚶♂️😊
