    Amazing views!

    Great full day trip! Wasnt sure what to expect but the views were amazing, scenic, lots of chocolate, small group but lovely people. Same guide as our city tour which was cool. As we only had 2 full days, this was perfect & different outside of the city. Its a long day but worth it!

    Campos do Jordão for the day

    Tatiana was a wonderful guide and knew so much about the area - and a very nice person. We struck hold with Paulo as our driver - he was great!

    Alarme portion of the...

    A large portion of the trip is spent traveling to the destination. The actual town is very touristy. When we left the city we were stopped by the military police for a random road side check. The tour guide nor driver explained what was occurring. The tour guide’s documents raised issues with the law enforcement. It was a frightening experience that could have been eliminated had the driver or tour guide provided more communication about what was occurring.

    Response from the operator: Hello Traveler! Thank you for your feedback. Upon review, we found no issues regarding the vehicle or tour guide licenses, as the company holds all necessary authorizations and permits to transport passengers. We understand there was a breakdown in communication between the guide and the passengers regarding the reason for the inspection, which caused you some anxiety. We will speak with our team to ensure that, in the future, they make a point of explaining the reason for any inspections to the passengers. We are glad you enjoyed your time and had an excellent experience in Campos do Jordão. See you on your next trip to São Paulo! Thank you very much. VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM

    Amazing trip into the mountains!

    We had a lovely trip to Campo de Jordão high above the mountains. It was a serene hideaway above the clouds overlooking majestic mountains and valleys. The stop at a chocolate factory was lots of fun. Really enjoyed a few hours to have lunch in the picturesque town square. Lots of great restaurants and shopping options. Our guide Maurício and driver Moises made the trip very enjoyable. If you are in São Paulo for a few days the trip provides a nice contrast to the big city experience. I highly recommend it.

    The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $118 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 The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 61 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 The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo?

    +

    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 The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo?

    +

    Around 21 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo 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 The Brazilian Switzerland - Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo?

    +

    Included: Bilingual Tour Guide; Transport insurance; Pick-up and drop-off at the hotels within a maximus 6 km far from Sé Square; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Food and drinks; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
