(Translated by Google) Paranapiacaba is a charming getaway just about 60km from São Paulo—a true open-air museum! 🏞️🎩 ⸻ 🏛 History & Architecture • Founded in the mid-1860s as an English railway hub, it was a support point for the São Paulo Railway and even housed funicular railway machinery (the famous mountain climb system). • The village preserves its original layout, with an urban grid, Victorian wooden and brick houses, and the station with a Big Ben-style clock tower. • Listed by CONDEPHAAT, IPHAN, and recognized by the World Monuments Fund, it is considered an architectural, cultural, industrial, and natural heritage site—the surrounding Atlantic Forest provides a green backdrop to the historic setting. ⸻ 🔍 What to do • Train Station: end of the CPTM Tourist Express line, with its iconic clock and shunting yard. • Museum and Funicular: the old funicular is preserved at the Railway Technology Museum, and visitors enjoy seeing the steam engines up close. • Castelinho: residence of the chief engineer, now a museum with panoramic views and historical collections. • Trails and nature: the area around the village is part of the Serra do Mar State Park, with trails, orchids, and bromeliads—a great option for those who enjoy ecotourism. 🌟 Why it's worth a visit Paranapiacaba is a rare blend: living history, preserved English architecture, and a lush natural landscape. Ideal for a cultural weekend getaway—and without having to catch a plane. Highly recommended! 😊 (Original) Paranapiacaba é um passeio encantador a apenas cerca de 60 km de São Paulo — um verdadeiro museu a céu aberto! 🏞️🎩 ⸻ 🏛 História & Arquitetura • Fundada em meados de 1860 como um núcleo ferroviário inglês, era ponto de apoio para a São Paulo Railway e até chegou a abrigar maquinário funicular (o famoso sistema de subida da serra) . • A vila preserva o traçado original, com grid urbano, casas vitorianas de madeira e tijolos, além da estação com torre de relógio ao estilo Big Ben . • Tombada pelo CONDEPHAAT, IPHAN e referenciada pelo World Monuments Fund, é considerada um patrimônio arquitetônico, cultural, industrial e natural — a Mata Atlântica ao redor compõe uma moldura verde ao cenário histórico . ⸻ 🔍 O que fazer • Estação Ferroviária: final da linha do Expresso Turístico da CPTM, com seu icônico relógio e pátio de manobras . • Museu e Funicular: o antigo funicular está preservado no Museu Tecnológico Ferroviário, e visitantes curtem ver as máquinas a vapor de perto . • Castelinho: residência do engenheiro-chefe, hoje um museu com vista panorâmica e acervo histórico . • Trilhas e natureza: o entorno da vila faz parte do Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, com trilhas, orquídeas e bromélias — ótima opção para quem curte ecoturismo . 🌟 Por que vale a visita Paranapiacaba é uma mistura rara: história viva, arquitetura inglesa preservada e uma paisagem natural exuberante. Ideal para uma escapada cultural no fim de semana — e sem precisar pegar avião. Recomendo fortemente! 😊

Forjaria is a fascinating museum that has reopened this year, offering visitors a wonderful experience. The sound of the forge creates an unforgettable atmosphere, and the attentive monitor, Felipe, provides detailed explanations about the materials used on the railway network for maintaining the railway line. The free visit to Forjaria allows you to learn about historical tools and experience how trains were assembled and maintained.

Historic Sites
The museum Pau da Missa, named after its origin as a notice board for the local community, is a historic landmark in Paranapiacaba. This communication site played a crucial role in disseminating important information about the village, such as weddings and debts. Today, it stands as a testament to the rich history of Paranapiacaba. With its unique name and significance, Pau da Missa has become an integral part of the community's heritage.

JUMA — Google review
(Translated by Google) Many people think that the pau da missa is a pole that is there, but in fact it is (or was) the eucalyptus tree that was there, where in the golden age of the city, notices were placed about weddings, funerals, meetings, etc. that would take place in the city. Unfortunately, this old eucalyptus tree fell about a year ago, but I was able to see it several times and it was always a point to observe. It told a little about the magic of Paranapiacaba. (Original) Muita gente acha que o pau da missa é um poste que tem no local mas, na verdade é (ou era), o eucalipto que tinha ali, onde na era áurea da cidade eram colocados avisos sobre casamentos, funerais, reuniões, etc que aconteceriam na cidade. Infelizmente esse velho eucalipto caiu a mais ou menos 1 ano mas, pude vê-lo várias vezes e era sempre um ponto a se observar. Ele contava um pouco da magia de Paranapiacaba.

(Translated by Google) Another tourist attraction, besides the town of Paranapiacaba itself, is the Castelinho Museum, owned by the railroad chief during the English era. The building is beautiful, very well preserved, with everything original. Its interior retains an old but inviting atmosphere. For those arriving from the "Upper Part" side, just look in the distance and you'll see the Castle after the bridge that leads to the lower part of the town. Today, there's a café next door, and before reaching the café, there's a warehouse where you can buy various artisanal products, as well as local souvenirs. (Original) Outro ponto turístico, além da própria cidade de Paranapiacaba, é o Museu do Castelinho, propriedade do chefe da ferrovia na época dos ingleses. A construção é linda, muito bem conservada, com tudo original. Seu interior guarda um ambiente antigo, mas convidativo. Para quem vem pelo lado da "Parte Alta", basta olhar ao longe e verá o Castelo após a ponte que dá acesso à parte baixa da vila. Hoje, funciona um café ao lado e antes de chegar ao espaço do mesmo, há um galpão, onde pode-se comprar diversos produtos artesanais, além de lembranças locais.

(Translated by Google) Amazing tour! We took the night tour, Night at the Museum - Legends and Myths, and were guided by the exceptional Alessandro, who gave us a jaw-dropping history lesson!!! We loved it. The tour ended with scary stories told by Jairo Costa, as we visited the sites at night. Beautiful folklore!!! And it's a little scary, isn't it? Get ready! It's worth it. Make reservations because tickets sell out fast. (Original) Passeio incrível! Fizemos a visita no passeio noturno, Noite no Museu - Lendas e Mitos e fomos guiados pelo excepcional Alessandro, que nos deu uma aula de história de cair o queixo!!! Amamos. O passeio foi finalizado com histórias assustadoras, que foram contadas pelo Jairo Costa, ao mesmo tempo que visitávamos os locais a noite. Folclore lindo!!! E dá um medinho hein gente!! Preparem-se! Vale a pena. Façam a reserva pq os ingressos acabam rapidinho.

(Translated by Google) It's rewarding to experience the history of our society. I don't remember the name of the woman who gave the house tour, but she did an excellent job making us feel like we were in the period described. Tour costs R$12 per person (it's worth the price). (Original) É gratificante viver a história da nossa sociedade. Não me recordo o nome da moça do tour na casa, mas ela fez um excelente trabalho fazendo-nos sentir como na época descrita.

Jiri O — Google review
(Translated by Google) Before going, I checked the reviews and was very disappointed. At first glance, I thought it would be manageable, but the place is very cramped, poorly sanitized, and the cuisine is very limited, perhaps because the staff wasn't prepared to handle the large number of tourists this time I went. It was manageable, but the price was disproportionately high. (Original) Antes de ir eu consultei as avaliações e fiquei muito desapontado. Numa primeira impressão achei que daria pra encarar, mas o local é muito limitado, precariamente higienizado e culinária muito limitada, talvez porque o pessoal não estava preparado para atender o grande número de turistas nesta vez que eu fui. Deu pra quebrar o galho, mas o preço foi desproporcionalmente caro.

(Translated by Google) Good restaurant, simple but with good service and live music. If it's lunchtime, it's best to eat buffet-style, as it's much cheaper than the portions. It's also very informal and has tables in the backyard. Ordering from the menu can take a long time. However, the bathroom is terrible. (Original) Bom restaurante, simples, mas com bom atendimento e música ao vivo. Se estiver na hora do almoço, é melhor comer no self-service, porque é bem mais barato do que as porções. Também é bem informal e com mesas no quintal. Pedidos do cardápio podem demorar muito. Entretanto o banheiro é péssimo.

Bar Balmann is known for its exceptional service and lively atmosphere. Customers rave about the delicious beer and enjoyable music. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate special requests, such as serving a broth that was out of schedule. The peach beer is highly recommended, adding a unique twist to their already impressive selection. Another standout feature of Bar Balmann is the pet-friendly environment, creating a welcoming space for all patrons.

(Translated by Google) The place is already wonderful; the attention I received on the first day was sensational. Fábio and Rose were wonderful hosts. They were attentive when choosing the dishes and recommended drinks made by Fábio himself. The music was great, the atmosphere was family-friendly, and the atmosphere was incredibly respectful. I loved it and will return whenever I can because every moment I spend there, relaxing or participating in events, is truly worth it. Congratulations to Mr. Balman for the quality of the service, for everyone's hospitality, and for the wonderful atmosphere I enjoyed with you.

(Translated by Google) An extremely pleasant and airy place. We arrived for lunch and, since it was an event day, stayed to enjoy the sunset. The food was excellent, and we drank the house pilsner draft beer, which was also very good. The staff is excellent, quick, and super helpful. But here's a tip for the owners: on event days, consider adding more staff. We left with the impression that the staff wasn't enough for the number of customers. We will definitely be back. (Original) Lugar extremamente agradável, arejado, chegamos para o almoço e por ser um dia de evento ficamos para apreciar o pôr do sol. A comida estava ótima, bebemos o chopp pilsen da casa que também é muito bom. Os atendentes são excelentes, rápidos e super prestativos, mas vai uma dica para os proprietários: em dias de evento cogitem reforçar a equipe, saímos com a impressão de que a quantidade de funcionários não era suficiente para a de clientes. Voltaremos com certeza.

(Translated by Google) We waited more than an hour and a half for our order to arrive. The number of tables canceling their orders and leaving was no joke. The waiters were completely unprepared. After more than an hour and a half, my order arrived cold. It was a terrible experience because the staff's lack of preparation was clear. There were many tables to serve and few employees. Even with the problem of so many orders being more than an hour late, they called people on the street as if nothing had happened. A terrible experience. I do not recommend eating at this place. (Original) Esperamos mais de uma hora e meia para nosso pedido chegar, o que tinha de mesa cancelando o pedido é indo embora não era brincadeira, garçons totalmente despreparados, depois de mais de uma hora e meia meu pedido chegou frio foi uma experiência pessima pois era nítido o despreparo da equipe, muitas mesas para atender e poucos funcionários, mesmo com problema de tantos pedidos com atraso de mais de uma hora eles chama as pessoas na rua como se nada tivesse acontecido, experiência pessima, não aconselho comer nesse local…
JUNYOR S — Google review
(Translated by Google) The service was poor, not from the waitresses, who were very attentive, but I've never seen a restaurant charge for food before it was served; that's typical of fast food. We were seated practically next to the kitchen, and even then the food arrived cold and poorly presented. We ordered lunch. Maybe it's worth it for a beer and some snacks, but I wouldn't recommend it for lunch. (Original) Atendimento ruim, não por parte das atendentes, que nos atenderam muito bem, mas eu nunca vi um restaurante cobrar a comida antes de ser servido, isso é serviço de Fast Food. Estávamos sentados praticamente ao lado da cozinha e mesmo assim a comida veio fria, e com uma apresentação bem ruim. Pedimos almoço, talvez para tomar uma cerveja e comer uns petiscos valha a pena, mas para almoçar não recomendo.

(Translated by Google) I went with my family for lunch, and the waitstaff took a while to take our order. We chose the picanha no ferro (expensive). Serves 4 people, picanha is lukewarm when cold, and the processed polenta is horrible. For the price, it needs to be improved by adding salad and beans. We left the establishment disappointed. (Original) Fui com minha família almoçar, atendentes demorou pra retirar o nosso pedido, escolhemos a picanha no trilho (caro) Serve 4 pessoas, picanha morna prá fria, polenta industrializada horrível.

(Translated by Google) A sensational place. Excellent food, flavor, and quality define the menu. Service stands out from other places in Paranapiacaba. Quality draft beer with a variety of choices.

Comida excelente, sabor e qualidade define o cardápio . Atendimento diferenciado dos outros lugares de Paranapiacaba. Um chopp de qualidade com variedade.

(Translated by Google) Several factors influenced my decision to give this low rating. 1- The price of the bait on the menu was R$89.90. The waiter informed me that there had been a R$10 increase and they forgot to change it on the menu. The rule is clear to me. It's worth the price on the menu. 2- The rice arrived cold and tasted burnt. 3- I kept looking for the sesame seeds in the "sesame-dusted" fish we ordered. 4- There seems to be little communication between the staff. We ordered a salad, no salad, and no answers. We asked someone else, and nothing. I left without eating the said salad. (Original) Vários fatores influenciaram minha decisão para essa nota baixa. 1- O valor das iscas no cardápio estava R$89,90. O garçom informou que teve 10 reais de aumento e esqueceram de mudar no cardápio. Pra mim a regra é clara. Vale o valor do cardápio. 2- O arroz veio frio e com gosto de queimado. 3- fiquei procura do o gergelim no peixe "polvilhado com gergelim" que pedimos. 4- Parece não haver muita comunicação entre os funcionários. Pedimos uma salada, nada de salada e respostas, perguntamos para outra pessoa e nada. Saí de lá sem comer a dita cuja.

Initially, the individual visited Estacao Cavern Club restaurant located at Av. Fox, 525, upon a local's suggestion. The establishment appeared to be of high quality but came with a hefty price tag. Consequently, they decided to explore other options and stumbled upon Estacao do Sabor situated at Av. Antonio Olyntho, 485. This particular eatery left them in awe as it exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere while providing excellent service.
Amazing place. It’s cozy and every hospitable.

The restaurant and food was great. The lady owner was really nice and warm, her husband a bit rough but always accomodating. However the hospedagem was a bit overpriced for the type of room. The bathroom was shared and was more like a bathroom set up hastily to have one for guests than a proper bathroom (electric cables from the pipes, no tiled floor, shower wetting the whole space, next to the toilet...). It does not deserve 200 reais a night. Nevetheless, the room was nicely decorated and efforts were made for the bed linen.

(Translated by Google) An intimate venue with incredible food. So much flavor and history combined. Luckily, we were able to dine there, as this place is only open by reservation. However, we received very attentive and impeccable service, as well as delicious slow food. I'll be back again, perhaps even staying there. (Original) Lugar intimista e comida incrível. Muito sabor e história juntos. Por sorte, pudemos jantar, pois esse só tem quanto é feito reserva. Mas tivemos um atendimento muito carinhoso e impecável, além de um slow food delicioso.

Day 2

Southwest side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the southwest side side of town. Start the day off with Technological Railway Museum of Funicular, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Trilha do Poço Formoso. All together, your day would be filled with about 8 hours of non-stop fun.

Specialty Museums
The Technological Railway Museum of Funicular offers a glimpse into the historical track system, old tools and machines, and the Maria Fumaca trains. Visitors are required to pay a small fee for access. While it is historically interesting as a World Industrial Heritage Site, there are concerns about its maintenance and storage environment. Some visitors recommend having a guide for a better experience and suggest that the museum needs more investment to reach its full potential.

The Church of Paranapiacaba, originally known as Capela do Alto da Serra, is a charming historical site that began its construction in 1884. Nestled in one of the highest points of the town, this church offers visitors a glimpse into the past with its simple yet delicate interior that captivates all who enter. While the exterior may show signs of wear, it still holds an undeniable beauty worth exploring.

(Translated by Google) The church in Paranapiacaba was originally called the Chapel of Alto da Serra, and its construction began in 1884. On February 2nd, a construction committee was elected, and the cornerstone of the church was laid on February 3rd, 1884. Before the chapel itself, the locality had an oratory, the oldest record of which dates back to 1880.

Churches & Cathedrals
Parish Senhor Bom Jesus is a charming church dating back to 1889, located at the top of Paranapiacaba hill. It features a beautiful Neo-Gothic style and offers stunning views of the city. Visitors can access it by crossing the Metalic Bridge and climbing a set of stairs, with a nearby parking lot available for those arriving by car. Adjacent to the church is a small cemetery that some find worth visiting as well.
Wonderful town view from top of the hill, before the fog comes in late afternoon. Old and traditional chapel with an ancient cemetery on back. Worth visiting.

(Translated by Google) Church from 1889. It has a cemetery next door, with dozens of tombs from centuries ago. The church, like all others, exudes peace and faith. And it's worth a visit, even if it's just a quick one. It's visible from afar, as it's located in the highest part of Paranapiacaba. A beautiful postcard. (Original) Igreja do ano de 1889. Possui um cemitério ao lado, com dezenas de túmulos de séculos atrás. A igreja, assim como todas, transmite paz e fé. E vale uma visita, nem q seja rápida.

(Translated by Google) Bom Jesus Church was inaugurated in 1889 and still retains the charm of an English village perched atop a hill. It's just a few minutes from the train station, with a sweeping view of the lower part of the city. The bell is in use and rings periodically. The mist often appears in the late afternoon, creating a cinematic atmosphere. Ideal for those who enjoy photography, history, and a timeless stroll. @juwolfram (Original) A Igreja Bom Jesus foi inaugurada em 1889 e ainda guarda o encanto da vila inglesa no alto do morro. Fica a poucos minutos da estação de trem, com vista ampla da parte baixa. O sino funciona e toca de tempos em tempos. A neblina costuma aparecer no fim da tarde e dá um clima cinematográfico.

Interessante ver por dentro como era a arquitetura da época, mas não voltaria. Achei que o valor, mesmo podendo ser considerado simbólico, não condiz com o que é entregue.

(Translated by Google) I do not recommend the visit, although the reception and the guide were very friendly and kind, the space is tiny, there are very few old pieces, some are not even reliable with some modern things, the guide whose name I do not remember made everything boring with a very long explanation about the history even before we entered the rooms, and it was clear that the other tourists were tired too, it only became interesting again when we went to see the pieces on display and with the monitoring it fit in, but it was so short due to the small space that I do not think it is worth it, even though it is 5 reais, a symbolic amount, I would not go again, a more complete option that is not uninteresting is the Castelinho Museum. (Original) Não recomendo a visita, embora a recepção e a guia fossem muito simpáticas e amáveis,o espaço é minúsculo, tem pouquíssimas peças antigas, algumas nem são fidedignas com algumas coisas modernas, a guia que não me recordo o nome deixou tudo maçante com uma explicação sobre a história muito longa mesmo antes de adentrarmos nos cômodos, e era nítido o cansaço dos outros turistas também, só foi voltar a ficar interessante quando fomos ver as peças expostas e com a monitoria encaixou, mas foi tão curto pelo pouco espaço que não acho que valha a pena, mesmo sendo 5 reais, um valor simbólico, não iria novamente, uma opção mais completa e que não é desinteressante é o Museu Castelinho.

Locobreque, a fascinating abandoned locomotive, is located just 700 meters away from the accommodation. It's also a short drive from the Technological Railway Museum of Funicular and 3.2 km from Poco Formoso. Despite being in a state of decomposition and no longer able to be restored, it remains an intriguing sight for photography enthusiasts. However, visitors are advised to ensure their tetanus vaccine is up to date due to the condition of the locomotive.

State park
Located near the village of Paranapiacaba, Trilha do Poço Formoso is a well-marked and easily accessible trail that leads to natural pools with crystal clear waters of varying depths. The trail offers stunning views of the Atlantic Forest's diverse flora and occasional glimpses of the extinct Funicular System's railway and tunnels. Visitors are required to hire a guide due to its status as an environmental preservation area.
It's not a museum, it's a hike you take to a waterfall and natural water pools.

Karina M — Google review
(Translated by Google) This is a moderate trail with many descents. If you do it on a rainy day, you may find some very slippery sections. The trail takes an average of two hours to get to the Formoso well and two hours to get back, but it all depends on the group's pace and the weather that day. We did it in the rain, and the beginning of the way back was a bit tricky, but after that everything went well. Along the trail, you can see the funicular system and we also passed three power towers, where you can enjoy a beautiful view. If you're driving, you can park near the Paranapiacaba cemetery. The final bus stop is also close to the start of the trail. When we entered the park, we were photographed by some "inspectors" in case the group got lost in the woods. We did the trail with the guidance of a guide from the city. I don't know if it's allowed to do it without a guide. Anyway, if you have the opportunity, do the trail. It's definitely worth it. (Original) Trilha de nível moderado com muitas descidas, se feita em dia de chuva é possível encontrar alguns trechos bem escorregadios, a trilha leva uma média de duas horas para chegar ao poço Formoso e duas horas de volta, porém tudo depende do ritmo do grupo e do clima do dia. Fizemos com chuva o início da volta foi complicadinho, mas depois tudo correu bem. No decorrer da trilha é possível avistar o sistema funicular e também passamos por três torres de energia onde é possível ter uma vista bem bonita. Para quem for de carro é possível estacionar próximo ao cemitério de Paranapiacaba, além disso o ponto final de ônibus também está próximo do início da trilha. Ao adentrarmos o parque fomos fotografados por alguns "fiscais" para o caso do grupo se perder na mata, realizamos a trilha com a orientação de um guia da cidade, não sei se é permitido realizá-la sem guia. Enfim se tiver a oportunidade realize a trilha vale muito a pena.

(Translated by Google) A cozy, small place with a cottage feel. It's lovely to sit outside where the birds come very close. We received excellent service. Although the much-talked-about Cambuci caipirinha was very good, what really won me over was the roast pork leg. It was simply DIVINE, I had to fight the urge to order a hot one to take home. (Original) Lugar aconchegante, pequeno e com ar de casinha, é muito gostoso sentar na área externa onde os passarinhos chegam bem perto. Fomos muito bem atendidos. Apesar da tão falada caipirinha de Cambuci ser muito boa, oq realmente me conquistou foi o pernil assado, ele estava simplesmente DIVINO, tive q lutar contra a vontade de pedir uma quentinha pra levar pra casa🤭

Charismatic staff (Original) Comida ótima e com ambiente muito agradável na vila. Self-service de 45,90 à vontade, possui uma variedade boa e realmente com gosto caseiro. Funcionários carismáticos

Restaurant
Bar da Zilda is a well-established and traditional spot in Paranapiacaba, dating back to around 1970. It offers good food at reasonable prices and provides a beautiful view of the village. One of its standout dishes is the Cuban-style sirloin, served with Greek rice, French fries, beans, pineapple, and banana milanese. The bar has a modern vibe with indoor and outdoor seating near the Metal Bridge. Visitors can enjoy live music in a cozy setting with attentive service.
the food is very good. the fish was fantastic. the salad and extras were very fresh. and the fresh juices are excellent

It's OK, not the best over there, but OK. A little bit expensive for the place.

(Translated by Google) Bar da Zilda is undoubtedly the best-known and most popular restaurant in Paranapiacaba. Located right at the entrance to the lower part of the village (Rua Direita, No. 420), it attracts attention both for its prime location and its constant hustle and bustle. The service is noteworthy: always friendly, attentive, and efficient, even on the busiest days. This was our second visit, and once again, we were warmly welcomed. On event days, there's often a line, precisely because it's the most popular, so a tip: avoid peak times if possible. We ordered the steamed ribs, which were delicious and generously served. There were four of us, and we ate comfortably from a single plate (the portions are large enough for two to three people, with some room for two). The price is a concern: we consider it high considering the quality and simplicity of the dishes. Even so, the restaurant remains a good choice for anyone visiting Paranapiacaba, especially if it's your first time. On our next visit, we plan to explore other dining options in the village, but we still recommend Bar da Zilda as one of the must-see stops in the city. (Original) O Bar da Zilda é, sem dúvida, o restaurante mais conhecido e frequentado de Paranapiacaba. Localizado logo na entrada da parte baixa da vila (Rua Direita, nº 420), ele chama a atenção tanto pela localização privilegiada quanto pelo movimento constante. O atendimento merece destaque: sempre cordial, atencioso e eficiente, mesmo nos dias mais cheios. Esta foi nossa segunda visita e novamente fomos muito bem recebidos. Em dias de evento, é comum haver fila de espera, justamente por ser o mais procurado, então vale a dica: evite horários de pico se possível. Pedimos uma costela no bafo, que estava saborosa e bem servida. Somos quatro pessoas e comemos tranquilamente com um único prato (as porções atendem bem de duas a três pessoas, com certa folga). O ponto de atenção fica para os preços: consideramos elevados em relação à qualidade e simplicidade dos pratos. Ainda assim, o restaurante continua sendo uma boa pedida para quem visita Paranapiacaba, especialmente se for sua primeira vez. Na próxima visita, pretendemos explorar outras opções gastronômicas da vila, mas seguimos recomendando o Bar da Zilda como uma das paradas obrigatórias na cidade.
