    Rainforest, wildlife, views and history

    A great day out that combined some Fascinating history and some very cool wildlife. Serro do Mar has some beautiful rainforest which we walked through and the views out to Santos and the sea were spectacular. Denis was very knowledgeable- particularly with the trees and plants as well as history. He was a great guide and companion! I thought the trip was good value and perfect if you want to escape São Paulo city for a day to see experience rainforest and learn the local history. Also, everything went very smoothly with the arrangements and being picked up from my hotel in the city. Thank you

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! 😊 It’s great to hear everything went smoothly and that you enjoyed every part of the tour with Denis. We hope to see you again soon!

    No commentary

    None not worth the money if I known I wouldn’t bought the tour there was nothing special about the place

    Response from the operator: We are proud to have knowledgeable and kind guides who are passionate about sharing the beauty and significance of the location. It seems there may have been an oversight in acknowledging the efforts of your guide, who aimed to enhance your tour with their expertise and by providing a picnic in one of the park's scenic spots, offering a beautiful view of the shore. These elements are integral to the experience we strive to offer, highlighting the natural beauty and tranquility of the area. We understand that personal preferences play a significant role in the enjoyment of our tours, and it's regrettable that this particular setting did not resonate with you as we hoped. We would be grateful for any further insights or suggestions you might have on how we can make our tours more engaging or align them more closely with our guests' expectations. Thank you for choosing our tour, and we sincerely hope we have the opportunity to better serve you in the future, perhaps by tailoring an experience more suited to your interests.

    View of São Paulo after hiking through a rain forest!

    Luis was a great guide! Beautiful hike through the jungle where he educated me about all kinds of interesting plants and animals. The view of São Paulo at the top was great. By the end of the day I had made a real friend !

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience with Luis as your guide and that you enjoyed the hike through the jungle. 😊 The view of São Paulo at the top is indeed spectacular, and we're delighted that you not only had a great tour but also made a new friend along the way. 🌟 We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future! 🌴🌄

    Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sao Paulo.

    How much does Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills cost?

    +

    Prices start at $370 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sao Paulo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sao Paulo is not rushed.

    Is Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sao Paulo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sao Paulo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sao Paulo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sao Paulo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sao Paulo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sao Paulo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Rio in One Day: Christ Redeemer, Sugarloaf & Local Lunch, 5-hour Private Tour Of São Paulo With Its Main Sights – Optional Airport Pickup, 6-Hour Classic Half-Day Private Tour of São Paulo – Optional Airport Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sao Paulo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sao Paulo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Sao Paulo: Eco Private Tour Through ATlantic Forest, Valleys, Set of Hills?
