Itinerary
Great place to stop for a return trip from Campos do Jordão, in addition to the wonderful view at the end of the afternoon, where the sun shyly brushes behind the hills a beautiful picture of the evening, leaving the last beams of light in the valley and in our cameras in a nostalgic way. , there is always time to eat a corn in the pot, a warm pine nut, have a freshly prepared coffee, buy an exotic jelly, or a wonderful candy and even a different cap or glove at the kiosks that are available there. I always stop here to buy cheese and jams and eat something before hitting the road.
It is a good place to take a short walk and do some shopping in the stores that are in the surroundings
Chocolate factory

It was one expensive uber ride. Not too.much of a tour, more like a ride to campos do jordao. The town was cute though.
The tour is with a professional guide & driver also our cars are fancy and well mantanance also with full insurance in case happening anything Also without guide you not know what to do in the city in one day We also recommend next time to have the full package with the hiking option to get the full experience Thanks
I have written positive reviews for over a dozen TripAdvisor tours. This is the first review that I would classify as a disaster. The day prior to the tour, I wrote to the operator about the “heavy rain forecast”. He assured me that the weather would be clear where we were going? On the day of the tour, the guide informed me that the $385 I had paid Trip Advisor was going to be refunded and I would have to pay him directly. In hindsight we should have gotten out of the car immediately. If you’re taking this tour, it consists of being in a small car for over (6) hours. The description of the tour tells you that the tour lasts 10 hours? If we had known that the drive to see a small village was (3) hrs each way we would never had chosen the tour? To be honest, the village was cute and the gondola was interesting - but not in the heavy rain we faced. Upon returning to São Paulo, it took over 90 minutes for the tour guide to make the electronic transfer. I had to pay him $200 in cash and the bank transfer of $188. It was ridiculous how long this took. At this stage, my message is Caveat Emptor!
Beautiful City. Lovely drive. HOWEVER, the driver Mohammad could not speak English. Though he might be knowing English but it was not coming out from his mouth. He was nice to us. Helped us to buy things. He is of Syria origine and in Sao Paulo from 11 years. I happened to work in Gulf for many years, 24 years back. With little bit Arabic that I could remember, I saved our day. He will be good for tour in English and Portuguese. Please don't assign him for tour in English.
The guide was very kind and compliant and punctual with the times. He accommodated the client's needs, was very respectful, warm, and took me to the best places.
This was an an unexpected trip of a lifetime. First of all I could not say enough about our tour guide Roberto. Roberto catered the trip to our needs and made it so much fun. If he suggests the Pedra de Bau… gain your courage and DO IT! It was a long day but the memories that were created were forever…
Beautiful city , many options for tours , excellent restaurants , beautiful park for adults and children
The activity was super complete, we had a lot of fun and also felt at home. Roberto is extremely friendly and patient and is the Perfect accomplice for this ride. Thank you very much for sure we will return
Robert was excellent. When asked he made recommendations about food etc. All of them were top notch. Specially liked the chocolate and strawberries. Great guide with a sense of humour and great trip.
I wasn’t expecting to have as good as a time as I did. The town in the mountains is beautiful and really does look like Germany or Switzerland. Roberto the tour guide was excellent and personable. One tip I have is to wear real shoes not flip flops like I did as there is a hike up a mountain involved.
Amazing place with an amazing tour Guide, Roberto! Roberto showed us all the mountains area of Campos do Jordao and the area close by. Must do this tour if you visit Sao Paolo. Roberto is very friendly and professional in what he is doing and he is a really good tour guide.
