Pico do Jaraguá

In this nature adventure outside São Paulo, you may choose between two different trails. The Jaraguá Peak trail includes the Jaraguá Peak, the highest mountain in São Paulo. The trail is approximately 2 kilometers long and leads to the top of this hill, located about 1,150 meters above sea level. On the Cantareira State Park trail, you can walk about 3 kilometers up the mountain to Pedra Grande, where you will have one of the best panoramic views of the city of São Paulo. No matter what choice you have, you can see the biome of the Atlantic Forest, one of the richest and most diverse on the planet. This forest is home to different species of monkeys, the raccoon-like Coati and toucans with green beaks.

Get picked up from the city and enjoy a 40-minute drive to Jaraguá State Park. When you arrive, follow your private guide along a shaded path to reach 2 separate lookouts giving you 360-degree views of São Paulo. Breathe in the fresh air of the Atlantic Forest while you trek along the 3.6-kilometer trail. Look out for capuchin monkeys, toucans, sloths, and marmosets bouncing around the trees as you hike through the lush landscape. As the trail comes to an end, take your time to complete the challenge of walking up to the summit. Experience the reward of ascending the concrete staircase with 242 steps and take some breathtaking pictures from the top.
