I truly had a memorable day here, filled with joy and discovery. The blend of sport, leisure, and art offered a warm, inviting atmosphere that made me feel nice. Don't miss the Biennale; it's a cool experience. Take a leisurely jog among the locals and relax by sipping fresh coconut milk straight from its shell—simple moments that can bring so much joy.
Máté S — Google review
Largest park in the city, it has nice roads for running and walking along with bicycle lines. It has a lake with River with plenty of grass areas to just sit and relax. We enjoyed it in a sunny day on Sunday and lots of people go to exercise and work out. Lots of local people just enjoying with their families Park has plenty of small stores to get snacks, water and natural coconut water which is great, however did not see a larger restaurant to get meals, just mobile spots for quick grab and go. There are public bathroom but can get crowded Green areas and well maintained although they could be better, trees are mostly tropical. There is a museum, planetary and Japanese site but did not go to those.

This park is right in the center of the city—almost like São Paulo’s own version of New York’s Central Park. It’s a very large green area with beautiful walking paths, lakes, cafés, and several museums. There are always many people around enjoying the space: jogging, biking, relaxing, or having picnics. We loved the atmosphere and how lively yet peaceful it felt. A perfect spot to spend time outdoors in the heart of the city.
Alper Y — Google review
It’s an absolute pleasure to walk in this park but keep in mind it’s huge. Plenty of cafes and shops to buy a fresh coconut or any other drinks, lots of bench’s to sit and relax or just watch people performing different instruments in the nature. I saw a lot of families spending time here with kids or having a meal. Definetly worth walking around

I have to say this is one of the best parks I've ever been to. From coconut water stands, to acai spots, and great running tracks. A great place for grounding in a concrete jungle.

Beautiful park with plenty to do. There are vendors selling coconuts everywhere, so it’s the perfect drink to enjoy while taking in the nature. Afro-Brazil Museum and Japan Pavilion are worth visiting. I felt perfectly safe walking around the park alone during the daytime.

It's a lovely and very big park. It's a must if you're visiting Sao Paulo, where you can jogging have a walk a picnic or visiting one of the lovely museums in the park. There's a lot to do here. It's a green gem in a very busy and industrial city.

Paulista: The Heartbeat of São Paulo The most famous avenue in São Paulo vibrant, lively, and full of energy all day long. It’s lined with offices, cafés, museums, and street performers. Landmarks like MASP, Japan House, and Casa das Rosas are must-sees. On Sundays, the avenue closes to traffic and turns into a street festival of music, dance, and art. Even on weekdays, it never loses its rhythm. Between the tall buildings, you’ll also notice people living in tents a quiet reminder of the city’s social contrasts. Take a day to walk, listen, and observe. To understand São Paulo, start with Paulista. 🌿#PaulistaAvenue #SãoPaulo #TravelBrazil

Museum

Museu do Futebol is a unique sports museum located in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It stands out as the only museum in the world exclusively dedicated to football, independent of any specific club. The museum features a multimedia collection, interactive exhibits, and references to significant moments in Brazilian history during the 20th century. With an investment of R $32.5 million, it has become one of the city's major tourist attractions.
The tour around the museum is short, bit it's definitely worth a visit, especially if you're a football fan. The history is quite something and there's a souvenir shop on the spot.
Filip M — Google review
Great museum about all aspects of the sport, in all its varieties and historical significances. I think it's worth the visit even for people who don't particularly like the sport in itself. The museum explains the particular Brazilian culture of the football in the bairros. Women's football is also talked about a lot. At the end of the museum, you can make some attempts to score goals yourself. The store on the side is also very varied!
Arne S — Google review
A really good football museum, but be aware that a lot of things aren't translated into English. It's also sustainable for kids so if you have a family you can have for sure a nice interactive experience. I gave 4/5 stars because the museum don't offer english translation and it could be crowded of children. But it's still really interesting and a really good set up.
Vittoria B — Google review
The museum is an interesting place to visit for a few hours. There’s not much written in English, but you can download an audio guide using their free WiFi. Clearly it was great to learn how football was brought to the country by an English man! The exhibits are well constructed and informative. We also got lucky and watched a little football in the stadium that the museum sits in.
Tony P — Google review
I went there twice, and both times I was not disappointed. When I went with my father he was really happy to have gone. Lots of things to see, the evolution of the game, the cleats, the ball, history of all of the clubs in Brazil. Cool activities to try. Plus you can purchase any jersey of any team you like and personalize the jersey. Fun thing to remember the visit.

Nice place to go and spend a weekend. Concerning the stores, here you will find a good selection of those (Nike, Puma, Calvin Klein, Diesel, and others). About the prices, depending on how lucky you are, I've already found some very good deals as well as I ve already found some items that were more expensive here them in the ordinary shop. About the food, not the best but not the worst as well. Good enough for an average lunch.

Expensive parking but rental cars are free. This is a "fashion mall". There's a parking garage and store side spaces. Prices are false, ALWAYS at a discount. Shop for convenience and variety but NOT price. A very busy place with customers coming from Sao Paulo city and Campinas areas. Very easy to get lost, poor signage.

X — Google review
Awesome outdoor outlet mall! There are many options, some on the higher priced name brand. Variety of restaurants throughout and a small food court area. Great walking and shopping atmosphere. The only reason I am giving 4, not 5 stars, is due to the parking, on busy days it can be very difficult to find parking. The parking lot doesn't keep track of spaces so you can find yourself entering the paid lot and not finding a spot and then have to exit and drive around to the added parking garage which is also paid parking and also doesn't keep track of the vehicle count.

Angelo V — Google review
I have driven by this place many times without knowing it was even there. It was only when I saw Rafa Ribeiro post about it on Instagram I decided to visit, since I was passing. The place looks great, however, when we visited on a Tuesday lunchtime, the place was packed! Parking was stressful and could use some management or guidance. People were parked everywhere, literally! To my surprise we did find a space. We were hungry, and wow, every food place was packed, and the seated restaurants had huge waits, so it would seem best to arrive earlier and make sure the first thing you do is book a restaurant, or eat before you come. There was a great mix of stores, however the busiest and most popular stores, like NIKE and Adidas seemed on the small side, they were packed with customers, and surely could use larger stores. As for the prices, maybe for Brazil is good, but even with the favourable exchange rate from the UK the European stores seemed expensive for sure. I would visit again, but would hope to find a quieter time.

Wet'n Wild

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Park
Wet'n Wild is an expansive and vibrant water park with a multitude of slides, a wave pool, and occasional DJ-led events. While the food court options are limited and slightly expensive, children often delight in the burger meals available. Moreover, there are also more affordable snack choices that benefit parents financially. The staff members are exceptionally helpful and amiable. However, one drawback is the steep price for parking at 50R$, especially when considering the already high ticket price of 99R$.
Great day out, I really enjoyed this water park and my 11year old neice also had fun. The park wasn't busy, queues were short, it was clean and tidy and the food and drink on offer was of a good enough standard. The yellow capsule drop slide was scary but fun, and the white half pipe and family rubber ring slides were my favourite. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone to visit and would go again.
Tristan C — Google review
A very disappointing visit to a very unkept “wet n wild” theme park chain. The water was ice cold, half the rides weren’t operational and most of the food stores were close. We visited on a weekend during these past Christmas school holidays. Wet N Wild, how about not neglecting Brazil’s theme park and ripping off the locals for every penny to enter. It is absolutely outrageous you charge a fee for children under 3 years old. In AUSTRALIA the children’s entry starts at 3 years old so answer me this why are you charging the patron’s in Brazil???? I can not believe we had to pay for my 1 year old son to enter to not even be able to enjoy some play because the water was like the Atlantic. One very disappointing visit to see how much you have let it get run down. Especially when the locals don’t know any different, I will make it clear. WET N WILD BRAZIL you are over priced, you need maintenance and a full renovation. Absolutely appalling how run down this venue had become. My advice: don’t bother wasting your time or your hard earned money at this theme park.
Courtney L — Google review
Wet n wild is a great place to visit if you have little kids or teens. It has a great atmosphere and lots of different ride options. Most of the lines aren't too long except for the Vortex which is about a 30 min wait. Olga, Luiz Carlos and Kevin were very helpful. The food is okay the snack bar is mostly burgers and it's quite unhealthy. The place is a bit worn down - most of the rides haven't been painted in a while and there are very few floaties for rides making the wait longer than it needs to be. However, it was an overall amazing experience.

Avoid at all costs during the weekend. I went with my 14 yo kid and 10 of his friends. Here is our journey: * Parking is well organized and reasonably priced (r$ 60) * It took us 75 minutes to get in the park - that's because we bought tickets in advance. There was no shade, drinks or staff in the entrance line * We had to wait 60 minutes more in line to get a locker. * We chose a ride that was not too busy. We "only" had to wait 45 minutes in line. That means that it took three hours from the time we arrived to the time we took our first ride. * The kids took another ride and off we went for lunch. 35 minutes in line, and the tables were dirty and full of flies. What an unforgettable experience to have lunch surrounded by thousands of flies. * We took one most popular rides in the afternoon and it was time to go. * In a nutshell, we arrived at 10am and left at 4 pm, for a total of 6 hours in the park. We took 3-4 rides, each of which lasted about 45 seconds. That averages out to 2 hours wait for every minute of riding. * Staff is friendly, but poorly trained. When we want to buy an ice cream, it took staff 3 minutes to sell one popsicle. * Management don't apparently enforce any capacity limit to the park. There were clearly four times more people in the park that there should be. There is zero chance lifeguard could see any kid drowning - which luckily didn't happen. * There is medical examination to be in the park - and there were a few people with obvious and apparent skin diseases that shouldn't be there. That, combined with a 35 degrees Celsius temperature made this trip the worst trip of my last 20 years of life (where I have been travelling extensively for work and tourism across 25+ countries in 5 continents)

Eat before you leave your home. My wife always talk to me that would she like to go in a water club. Although, we live in a city with beach she prefers fresh water. The last month we went to Jundiaí SP and we resolve have fun in a club, so we choose Wet'n Wild. I already paid 50R$ only to park my car under the sun. inside the club we wasted some time find place for accommodation but I not found. However, we like the wave swim and the place for kids. Finally we went have a meal and one more time wast more time in the line. When our time arrived there weren't desks available we had eat standing up under the sun.

Crazy expensive and over priced. Prices are abusive. Its not as fun as i remembered and I got hurt in qll the rides. Make sure to buy tickets before you go, otherwise you pay $50 more. Plus another $50 just for parking, and another $30 for a locker. Like I said, abusive.

It was really good. I visited on a weekend Saturday, and the lines for some rides were crazy long . After 5 hours, I had completed 4 rides and a snack. Wait-time for some attractions were almost 45 mins. The fastest was 10 mins. The vip pass should be incorporated into a ticket, but to pay R$200 in addition to $170 for entry was too crazy especially when buying 4 tickets. If you only have cash their is a location after the Egyptian site that issues a rechargeable card.

Amazing place more suitable for older kids maybe 8 to 9 years cause the interesting games are for older kids. But it is an amazing structure full of games you would need a whole day for this. The restaurants are not very practical for kids and not super clean. But overall amazing place.

It's a good place, the biggest problem is there's no free water to drink, covid is over already but you can't find water, only way it's to buy a water bottle. The hamburger is really bad but at least is cheap, the buildings is in need of repairs. Now on the good side, a lot of attractions, a big team to help you, organized line and almost all works are smiling.

Hopi Hari is a nice theme park to spend a day. I highly recommend purchasing the VIP pass because the line wait times prevented us from riding all the rides; the VIP pass is quite expensive though. The rides we rode were fun and the evening show was amazing! The food quality was average but I enjoyed the bacon and cheddar fries.

Great place! The day I visited (Feb 9th 2019) the park was very clean and with just a few people inside, I would say 2500 people. The lines were incredibly fast. The restaurants had slow service. The park is recovering from a strong crisis. It has been refurbished and everything is shining new, but the low number of visitors is still a sign that it still have a long way to go. But I loved it! 10!

A great place to spend a day with or without children. There are lots of different and varied facilities. It is not possible to pay on the spot in cash just to recharge a card or credit card. The icing on the cake was that anyone who has a birthday gets another card as a gift 🤩

Great park with very interesting concept: the place is its own country, and fun is the main rule. Unfortunately, they've always had financial issues, which currently leads to ever-in-maintenance attractions and the feeling that all of its potential is going to waste. Some of the coolest attractions were closed on February-21, when we visited the park. Employees are polite and gentle, but nothing compares to the reception at the entrance: clowns and other artists sing, dance and welcome the public, with contagious joy and excitement. They also seem concerned about COVID and wearing a mask is required at 100% of times, besides every attraction is cleaned with alcohol after a guest leaves. Attractions are not as radical as they seem, but roller coasters are definitely worth the experience. The wooden one is not only impressive, but it also crosses the road near the park, and is an unique experience. To avoid the kilometric lines, it's recommended to acquire a VIP pass. However, it costs BRL 120 or more (depending on the day), twice the entrance ticket value. This is expensive for Brazilian standards, but unfortunately it's the only way to have fun and enjoy your day at the park without wasting hours waiting in line. Food is overall too expensive and not tasty, so it's also recommended to take some snacks and try not to eat much. Taking water and sunscreen is also the most important thing and this is located on the countryside, and sun seems to hit differently when compared to São Paulo. To save money, take an Uber from Jundiaí train station. Overall, park fans can get a great experience for an expensive price. I wouldn't recommend it for people who are not willing to spend money, people who are not already willing to give it a chance, or very tall or large people (attractions seem designed for smaller and skinnier people. Most are not fit for people above 120kg, so a bigger person wouldn't fit a roller coaster seat, for example)

Mercado Municipal de São Paulo

Mentioned on

Market
Shopping
The Mercado Municipal Paulistano, also known as Mercadao, is a historic market located in the old city center of Centro. Built in the 1930s, this magnificent market hall features skylights and stained-glass windows and is bustling with vendors offering rare fruits, vegetables, dairy produce, meat, fish, and more.
Interesting experience and many options to try and choose from. Just know that when they offer you samples, you will end up buying stuff and they don’t give you the price until they already wrapped and bagged things. You’ll end up paying 60 USD for 4 piece of fruit, which you can find in typical stores for 10 dollars.
Parihan R — Google review
This is a well-organized and clean market that offers a wide range of goods—from preserved meats, fresh fish, and spices to nuts and other local products. While it seems to have become more of a tourist attraction than a place locals frequent for daily shopping, it’s still worth a visit. The second floor has sit-down restaurants, making it a good spot to take a break and enjoy a proper meal. Prices are reasonable overall. One of the highlights here is the famous mortadella sandwich—a must-try if you’re visiting for the first time. Overall, a nice place to explore local flavors and pick up a few souvenirs or snacks. Just expect a more tourist-oriented vibe.
Andrew G — Google review
Landed in São Paulo after a red eye so we needed to stay awake so we could sleep tonight…dropped off bags, showered, and headed to the market, one of my absolute favorite places in SP! Our driver took great care of us as he guided us to a friend working a fruit stall where we ate our fill in samples of some of the best tasting fruit you’ll ever try…Dragon Fruit, Passion Fruit, Yellow Avocado, Jack Fruit, Strawberries wrapped in dates, zero filter on that 🍊orange slice it was amazing! Got some dehydrated provolone discs and cubes of Parmesan…could spend hours in this market…a must stop when you come up São Paulo 🙌🏽
Eugene J — Google review
An incredible place to discover local and international exotic fruits and vegetables, meat vendors, pubs, bars, restaurants and much much more. A lively and bustling vibe. The only precaution, rather don't walk to this destination. Take a bus, taxi or Uber which takes you directly to this market.
Ele V — Google review
We came here close to the closing time but we still manage to grant our sandwich. The main reason we came to this market was to try this sandwich and it did not disappoint. The market itself has a lot of stalls, with nuts, fish, fruit, cheese and charcuterie and places to sit down and eat and drink. It's a nice stop if you are in the area.
Ana C — Google review
Not quite authentic. Lots of replication of stalls and restaurants. But it was a great mix of fruit, meats, seafood, wine bars, and restaurants. It's very clean and has a great energy. Maybe avoid the folks offering free samples but do try the cod pastel and the mortadela sandwiches. It just sit down for a glass of wine.
Gabriel B — Google review
Amazing place to shop for meat, cheese, olives, peanuts, sweets, fruit and also includes large restaurants that you can get the Mortadella Sandwich. Boca’s was the best place for Pastels (they actually fill them full and are overflowing with meat. The Maine sandwich shop (called Maine) was the best for Mortadellas. Be aware that the sales in this market are very aggressive and pushy. They will practically cut fruit and put it in your mouth as samples. The restaurants will practically hold your hand to seat you so that you order food. Didn’t bother me and all you need to do is stand your ground. One American to another 🇺🇸 😉
Sammy S — Google review
Be careful! The place is beautiful and historic, but the fruit vendors take advantage of tourists. I was asking about the price of the fruit, they gave me several to try, and then they charged me a lot of money for just a few pieces. Since they were "local" fruits, I thought the price would be a bit more expensive, but it turned out they were ripping people off. DON'T TRUST THEM. It was a horrible experience to not feel safe. I wasn't bargaining or denying to pay the correct price and yet they took advantage. My worst experience in SP.

Art museum
The Pinacoteca de São Paulo stands as a testament to Brazil's rich artistic heritage, making it one of the country's oldest and most significant art museums. Nestled in a stunning neoclassical structure originally designed for the School of Arts and Crafts, this museum showcases an impressive collection that ranges from 19th-century Brazilian paintings and sculptures to contemporary works. Its history is intertwined with various historical events, including conflicts in the early 20th century, which adds depth to its narrative.
Beautiful art museum! Museum has 3 levels, there is also a balcony on the front and back of the building on the 3rd level that has a nice view of the street and in the back a nice view of the park. I would make sure that if you are outside in the street don’t stay for long or take your phone out at all. There are many many homeless people in the area that steal from people regularly.
Brandon H — Google review
Definitely worth paying R30 for this museum as it has so many exhibitions and they were all amazing! The exhibitions were also in English and made it so much easier for us to enjoy! The ticket also includes the contemporary art in another building. We ended up spending over 2 hours here but could’ve easily spend half a day here. Highly recommend this to everyone!

I enjoyed this art museum. It has a nice mix of old art and contemporary art. The only artist I actually knew about before visiting is a Rodin statue. But it was fun to learn more about Brazilian artists. I was hoping to visit some other art museums but all the other museums were closed on Monday...But the Pinacoteca was open! They get an extra star just for being open on the day I was in town. The gardens around the museum are beautiful and peaceful. But the restaurant had a long line so I did not get to eat there.

One of the most beautiful museums I've been to. They have a great selection of pieces, with differing mediums, the space is clean and comfortable. The main entry goes thru a sunroom with super high glass ceilings, currently showing pieces done with wood, so you can smell the sap being warned by the sun. The staff was friendly and kind, very helpful and attentive. Bathrooms were clean. The pieces being showcased are very well selected, I think. And the infrastructure is beautiful.

(Translated by Google) One of the best climates! It lacks structure like in many places, but it is a city... very rich in natural beauty. They don't publicize it, but it's a great city for those who like a mountain climate, full of trails and dams. There is a lack of greater attention and care for the city that has become a dormitory city and a gateway for tours in Paranapiacaba. But those who like, lived or live closer to Nature will love the city! (Original) Um dos melhores climas ! Falta estrutura como em muitos lugares, mas é uma cidade... muito rica de beleza natural . Não divulgam mas é uma cidade ótima para quem gosta de clima serrano, cheio de trilhas e represas. falta um olhar e um cuidado maior com a cidade que se tornou uma cidade dormitório e passagem para passeios em Paranapiacaba.

(Translated by Google) The Rio Grande da Serra station is the last station on the turquoise line 10, quite far from the center and close to the Baixada, towards Cubatão and Guarujá respectively. In addition, this region is very beautiful and has its own characteristics, something fascinating, with a structure that reminds us of the old steam train stations. I particularly found the simplicity of the station and the region to be very beautiful and to cause a frenzy. (Original) A estação Rio Grande da Serra é a última estação da linha 10 turquesa, bem distante do centro e próxima da baixada sentido cubatão e Guarujá respectivamente.

(Translated by Google) Typical city in the interior... nicknamed "rio grande das trevas" by the residents themselves, the level of commerce is very low... there is very little, which makes it behind in terms of the city next to Ribeirão Pires or any other city that the locals go to shop and have fun.( maua, sto andre, S.caetano etc). close to paranapiacaba destination for hikers and people who like nature, other than that there is nothing special Specially, the train station is old and has never been renovated. It only works on one platform. The walkway fell down years ago, becoming an ugly city, if it weren't for nature, the place would be unattractive. (Original) Tipica cidade do interior...apelidada de "rio grande das trevas" pelos proprios moradores,o nivel de comercio e bem baixo..tem muito pouco mesmo, oque a torna atrazada em vista da cidade ao lado ribeirão pires ou qualquer outra que os locais vão pra fazer compras e se divertir.( maua,sto andre,S.caetano etc).próxima a paranapiacaba destino de trilheiros e pessoas q gostam da natureza,fora isto não tem nada de especial a estacão de trem é antiga nunca foi reformada só funciona uma plataforma a passarela caiu a anos chegando a ser uma cidade feia não fosse a natureza o local seria sem nenhum atrativo.

Very nice park/zoo in the center of the city. Must visit. Amazing for just walking around and reading a book. You do not pay to enter this park so I was surprised it is well taken care of. Only problem is Brazilian people who do not pick up garbage after their visit! For anyone who is against zoos this place is more of a rescue center... research and stop being so negative. They are just trying to help these animals. Releasing them will kill them! Also this is educational for all kids and adults. Look at all the beauty it offers.

The park is nice, great diversity of trees and bushes. But what I think is cruel, is to keep wild animals in captivity. They don't deserve to live this way. People in Campinas should change their minds and ask the municipality to free those animals, or at least take them to some kind of reserve outside the city, where they could roam a little. Lions and Leopards are kept in small compounds without even a little bit of green. Birds are living in small cages, which avoid them from flying.

The best park! It was a very hot day but the park is so greeny. I walked in a shade of those big trees, met couple of capybaras enjoying their weekend. The most iconic seems to be a big Protugese style boat at the north of the park.

If you love capybaras, you can't find a better place to go. Dozens of these friendly rodents roam around the lake. They won't let you touch them or even feed them, but they will let you pretty close. I have a video about it on my YT channel: Curves on the road

Better with family. This is an excellent spot for running, offering wide and varied trails with spots of shade at all times of day, the path was not paved in all places and so it may be muddy in the rain. There is a big ship to explore and beautiful plants. There were paddle boats but they had a cost to try. And some play equipment for kids. Depending on your disposition, this may not be the best place to go if you have limited time. There is not much that distinguishes it from any other large park in the world and it is not well maintained. It was hot and few places to buy water so come prepared.

We went to stay two nights and left after lunch on the first day. The place looks nothing like the photos on the website.

A real pity for our 10 year olds birthday surprise

The food seemed reasonable to me. Espatinhos, mini pizzas, and pastéis were all R$7 and were as good quality as you would find in any Festa Junina. The pastel was even big. The baru was particularly good. The park was very cute. It was obvious they paid attention to the small details. The rides were a lot of fun, especially the Nitro-x and the other ride right next to it (that one was maybe even better!) We spent about 7 hours there and didn't even do everything. It could be worth it to stay the night at the Posada and spend the whole weekend there.

A small town but so much lovely with a nice vision to nature. Remember a historical context when people needed to take the train to work and visit your family. I loved it

What I liked of this station - the square and the station - the shops and restaurants nearby ready to welcome tourists either by train or their own cars - the atmosphere as it was very clear everything was made to welcome people - there was live music being played in the square by local artists

Cristo Redentor de Serra Negra

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Transportation
Tramways
Cristo Redentor de Serra Negra offers a challenging climb with approximately 8 meters of uneven stairs, making it unsuitable for those with health issues. However, the breathtaking panoramic view of the town below from the top makes it worth the effort for most visitors. The location also provides wheelchair access from the car park to Christ and features a delightful chocolate shop nearby. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful and amazing experience while taking in the spectacular views at this iconic site.
Reaching the top is not for someone who is out of shape, it could even be a health risk for those with heart health issues. There is about 8meters of stairs to climb and the stairs are not so well made as some of them are low steps and some are hi steps, this can be a problem going back down too. When you reach the top, however, you will be rewarded with a beautiful picturesque view of the town in the valley below. In my opinion it's worth the effort if your health will allow it. I really really enjoyed it and it is a memory I will savor for years to come.

Where: Praça Adhemas de Barros, Aguas da Lindoia What: A public park How was it: A nice quiet place for a walk, enjoying the animals or water running. This is where you can take the ''locomotive'' to visit the small Christ statue in Lindoia. They also have sugarcane juice if you want to try it out. Grade: Eli = 4, Serge = 4 Recommend: Yes, when in Lindoia (which is a rather small place) you should check this place out.

Fazenda Morro Pelado

Dude ranch
Sights & Landmarks
Fazenda Morro Pelado is a charming retreat nestled in the midst of nature, offering cozy chalet apartments and cottages on a picturesque farm with a serene lake. The staff are incredibly hospitable, ensuring a comfortable stay and providing assistance whenever needed. Guests can savor delicious homemade meals at the buffet dining area and take advantage of the outdoor pool for relaxation.
Stayed for a couple days, the area is beautiful especially the view from atop the mountain. Every single person on staff were extremely kind and helpful. They made us very comfortable in their chalet while we stayed and enjoyed their animals and activities. The food was also quite good and gave a good selection. We couldn't do all the activities because of time but we did the big zip line, the aqua ball for the kids, the quad adventure, and horseback riding.

We did not stayed at their hotel. We just used their paid entertainment services, such as archery, horse riding, climbing, zip line and more. If you enjoy activities like this, this is the place for you.
Maurício A — Google review
We spent a day here Christmas Eve 2018, and had a great time. Five of us did a combination of horseback riding (both short and long rides), four wheeler expeditions up the mountains, zip lining on both short and long lines (the longest one goes from the top of Morro Pelado back down to the main site, about a 1.1km run), and had an awesome buffet lunch. We could have done more, but ran out of time (they closed early, at 4PM on Christmas Eve, which is only to be expected!). Next time we'll stay at their new hotel and have a couple of days to take it in. I'd recommend this without reservation to just about anyone, but especially to families with kids who are adventurous.

I have spent 3 nights at one of the family chalets. Loved the homemade food at breakfast and dinner time. Unfortunately, the weather was not the best and, we only got a chance to take photos of the infinity pool they have on the very last day. Outdoor activities were also a great call. My family and I went on an adventurous ride in a buggy (aka gaiola) to the highest point of the city where we could see both the cities of Monte Sião and Águas de Lindóia. My husband rode a horse and did airsoft gun shot practice. We had a blast doing archery and arvorismo as well. Guest tip: Get a 30% off on the activities price when staying at the hotel/chalet (valid on October 2021).

A rural property that helds a nice tourism complexo. There is a mix of countryside activities (animal feeding, fishing and horseback riding) and adventure activities (zipline, paintball and ATV). It is a good opportunity to have lot of fun surrounded by Nature. There are no entrance fee and parking is free. Kids (and grown ups) love it!

I do not know the rooms because I did not stay in the hotel, I only used the local attractions such as tree climbing, ziplining, horse riding, jeep, quad biking, snack bar. The attractions are perfect for kids and adults, with good team of monitors. I always go when I am in the area.

Vale Sul Shopping

Shopping mall
Shopping
Vale Sul Shopping is the largest and most diverse shopping center in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil. It offers a wide range of designer stores, boutiques, restaurants, and a cinema. The mall features various brand outlets and segments along with health facilities and a gas station. While it may not be the most budget-friendly for international visitors due to higher prices compared to the U.S., it's still an enjoyable place to explore without making big purchases.
Sorry, I didn't went there. Just used as reference to get the approximate distance until a friend's place near the shopping centre.

Nice shopping mall, with a bit of everything. Very big food plaza, with lots of options to choose from, the most famous places are in there. You can find a super market as well as a construction or home renovation store. You arcade gaming. They also have a cinema with lots of options of movie to pick. Lots of places to park your car and sometimes they'll have events happening at the car park.

Very organized shopping center with ample parking space. There is a good variety of quality products, a movie theater, and restaurants. The prices are typically more elevated but this is a general rule in shopping centers/malls in Brazil.
Nassim D — Google review
I'm a tourist from the U.S and one of my favorite things to do is to see the difference between malls in different countries. Let's just say Brazilian malls are one of my new favorites. I wasn't there to buy anything so I enjoyed just looking around, however, if you were going to buy something it's not very cheap. Example: a Maybelline mascara costs 80 Reais which, for an American, would be $20.00. I would economize, look around, and maybe buy something small, but don't go there for a shopping spree. The food court is great with several options, but, again, the prices and portions are wild for me as a foreigner. Overall, the mall is pretty and clean and I would come here again just to see the different stores.
Larissa M — Google review
A not so huge space. A congested environment during weekend. Just like other malls the ambience is the same and restaurants as usual are crowded. No English speaking guide and Walmart in it is the added advantage. Walmart is not so big as we normally see but a good place for a one stop shop
Ansari S — Google review
I only didn't give it a 5 star because of it's Pet Policy. Like in many other malls in Brazil pets are allowed in, but in this one you have to carry them on your lap. It is also forbidden to leave your pet at the entrance like many other places allow you to. So, if your pet is a lil fatty like mine, choose a different place to go to. Appart from that, very best mall in town.

Daniel B — Google review
(Translated by Google) Excellent for admiring the horizon and the landscape in general. However, considering the profile of São José dos Campos, it should be revitalized, taking advantage of the slope of the land, expanding the tiny deck, and building an attached grandstand with the same wooden profile as the deck, offering comfort to those who appreciate this view. Since it would be a hidden location, it would be necessary to install a security camera, ensuring not only security but also order, preventing crime and undesirable behavior from inconvenient people. The City Hall could authorize the construction of a coffee shop/snack bar next to the deck, with public restrooms (paid), separate for men and women. The responsibility for cleaning and maintenance would be outsourced to a third party. Besides the revenue for the merchant, it would offer convenience to deck users who want to enjoy the landscape for longer. (Original) Excelente para contemplar o horizonte e paisagem em geral. Mas para o perfil de São José dos Campos, deveria ser revitalizado, aproveitando a inclinação do terreno, ampliando o minúsculo Deck, construindo em anexo, uma *arquibancada com o mesmo perfil de madeira do Deck, oferecendo conforto aos apreciadores dessa paisagem. *como ficaria um local escondido, seria necessário a instalação de câmera de segurança, garantindo, além de segurança, ordem, evitando crimes e comportamentos indesejáveis pessoas inconvenientes... A Prefeitura, poderia conceder a construção de uma Cafeteira/Lanchonete, ao lado, do Deck, com banheiros públicos (pago), distintos para homem e mulher. Onde a responsabilidade de limpeza e manutenção, seria do terceirizado. Além da renda para o comerciante, ofereceria conveniência para usuários do Deck, que queiram contemplar a paisagem, por mais tempo...

(Translated by Google) We went to see the Smoke Squadron perform. I parked the car far away because I was sure it would be chaos and the road would be closed. We walked along Anchieta Avenue and I was enchanted by the bike path and the scooters that we could rent through an APP. There were a lot of military personnel there because of the event and the municipal guard did a great job too. The place is ideal for families and couples in love because it has a wonderful view and very chic bars and restaurants. (Original) Fomos ver apresentação da Esquadrilha da Fumaça, parei o carro longe pois tinha certeza que lá estaria um caos e a via interditada, andamos na avenida Anchieta e fiquei encantada com a ciclovia, com os patinetes que podemos alugar por APP, tinha bastante militares no local por conta do evento e a guarda municipal fez bonito também. Local ideal para família e casais apaixonados pois tem uma vista maravilhosa, bares e restaurantes chiquérrimos.

Hiking Trails
Trilha da Pedra Redonda is a relatively easy hiking trail that starts at the end of Av. das Montanhas or can be reached from the Plato trail. It takes about an hour to complete and offers a tranquil experience through lush greenery. The trail leads to a 1990m rounded peak, providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Hikers are advised to wear comfortable clothes and sneakers, bring water, and apply sunscreen due to windy conditions on the rocks and intense sun exposure.

(Translated by Google) Great trail, relatively easy and very rewarding. The view at the end is stunning, and we were lucky to go on a day when the Minas Gerais side was clear and the São Paulo side was very foggy—simply incredible. Note that you need to purchase your ticket online, and there are fixed entry times. (Original) Ótima trilha, relativamente fácil e muito proveitosa. A vista no final é muito boa, e tivemos sorte de ir num dia onde o lado mineiro estava com céu limpo, e o lado paulista com muita névoa, simplesmente incrível. Atentar-se que é necessário comprar a entrada pela internet e há horários fixos de entrada.

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt, the best trail in Monte Verde. The area is very well maintained by private initiative, with excellent upkeep, clear signage, security, and guidance before the start of the trail, making the entrance fee worthwhile. It's the most suitable option for families, especially older people and children, as the route is easy and accessible. The Platô trail, while very beautiful, is much steeper, more rugged, and longer, requiring physical preparation and extra attention. I recommend both, but each is suited to a different type of visitor and fitness level. (Original) Sem dúvida, a melhor trilha de Monte Verde. O local é muito bem cuidado pela iniciativa privada, com excelente manutenção, sinalização clara, segurança e orientações antes do início do percurso, o que faz o valor do ingresso valer a pena. É a opção mais indicada para famílias, especialmente pessoas de mais idade e crianças, pois o trajeto é tranquilo e acessível. Já a trilha do Platô, embora muito bonita, é bem mais íngreme, acidentada e longa, exigindo preparo físico e atenção redobrada. Recomendo ambas, mas cada uma para um tipo de visitante e nível de disposição.

Luisa S — Google review
(Translated by Google) The Pico da Pedra Partida is the second highest peak in the Monte Verde region and has a beautiful view of much of the Paraíba Valley. The access trail has signs and red ribbons on some trees along the way, especially in places where there might be some doubt. It took us 1 hour to climb the 900m to the top. And on the way back it took us only 40 minutes. At the top there is a sign indicating the altitude and the name, great for photos. The downside is that access is restricted by MOVE, which charges R$35.90 per person. This amount could easily be used for a "single pass" with access to the 5 peaks in the region. This would both attract more tourists and raise the funds needed to improve and preserve the site. (Original) O Pico da Pedra Partida é o segundo mais alto da região de Monte Verde e tem uma vista muito linda de boa parte do Vale do Paraíba. A trilha de acesso possui placas indicativas e fitas vermelhas em algumas árvores ao longo do caminho, especialmente nos locais que podem gerar alguma dúvida. Levamos 1h para subir os cerca de 900mt até o topo. E na volta gastamos apenas 40 min. No topo há uma placa indicando a altitude e o nome, ótima para foto. O senão é o acesso restrito pela MOVE que cobra R$35,90/pessoa. Esse valor poderia muito bem servir para um "passe único" com acesso aos 5 picos da região. O que tanto atrairia mais turistas quanto captaria os recursos necessários às melhorias e conservação do local.

(Translated by Google) The scenery is wonderful and worth the effort. The trail is not well marked, but it is possible to follow the path. If you are not physically fit, the trail takes about 2 to 2.5 hours (don't rush to get there) and has complicated and slippery sections. The trail has 2 viewpoints (close to the final destination). Bring good shoes, water, a shirt and long pants. I recommend leaving in the morning, preferably before 9 am, to avoid the midday sun at the top of the split rock. (Original) Paisagem maravilhosa e vale o esforço. A trilha não é bem sinalizada mas é possível seguir o caminho. Se você não tem preparo físico a trilha leva por volta de 2h - 2h30 (não tenha pressa de chegar) e possui trechos complicados e escorregadios. A trilha possui 2 mirantes (próximos ao destino final). Vá com um calçado bom, água, uma blusa e calça comprida. Recomendo sair de manhã, preferencialmente antes das 9, para evitar o sol do meio dia no topo da pedra partida.

(Translated by Google) This trail is a little more difficult than Pedra Rodada, which has stairs and is very short! I don't recommend doing this trail if you have mobility problems, because at times you'll need a little physical strength to get through certain steep and narrow spots... The trail is well marked and not very well marked, with signs at some points and two really cool viewpoints along the way, to recharge your batteries and admire nature! It's possible to get there without any major problems, because during the holiday season, there are always people going to or coming back from the same place as you... If possible, choose to do this trail while there's daylight and good weather, because it's a 40 to 50 minute walk from the fork that separates the Pedra Rodada/Ronda trails. Unmissable! People who give this trail a bad review must not be physically fit and/or may have gone alone... From Pedra Rodada, the second highest point in the region, you can see Pedra Rodada, which was FULL the day I visited! (Original) Trilha com grau de dificuldade pouco mais elevado que a pedra redonda, que tem escadas e é bem curta! Não recomendo fazer essa trilha, se tiver algum problema de mobilidade, pois em alguns momentos é necessário pouco de força física para passar por determinados pontos íngremes e estreitos... A trilha está bem demarcada e pouco sinalizada, com placas em alguns pontos e dois mirantes bem legais no caminho, para reabastecer a energia e contemplar a natureza! É possível chegar sem grandes problemas, pois em temporada de férias, sempre existem pessoas indo ou voltando para o mesmo local que você... Se possível, opte por fazer essa trilha enquanto há luz do dia e com tempo firme, pois são 40 a 50 minutos à partir da bifurcação que separa as trilhas da pedra partida/redonda. Imperdivel! As pessoas que avaliam mal essa trilha, não devem ter preparo físico nenhum e/ou podem ter ido sozinhas... Da pedra partida, segunda mais alta da região, você consegue ver a pedra redonda que estava LOTADA no dia em que visitei!
