What you'll see and do
Belvedere Vista Chinesa
Great place to stop for a return trip from Campos do Jordão, in addition to the wonderful view at the end of the afternoon, where the sun shyly brushes behind the hills a beautiful picture of the evening, leaving the last beams of light in the valley and in our cameras in a nostalgic way. , there is always time to eat a corn in the pot, a warm pine nut, have a freshly prepared coffee, buy an exotic jelly, or a wonderful candy and even a different cap or glove at the kiosks that are available there. I always stop here to buy cheese and jams and eat something before hitting the road.

Uber ride would have been cheaper.
It was one expensive uber ride. Not too.much of a tour, more like a ride to campos do jordao. The town was cute though.
Response from the operator: The tour is with a professional guide & driver also our cars are fancy and well mantanance also with full insurance in case happening anything Also without guide you not know what to do in the city in one day We also recommend next time to have the full package with the hiking option to get the full experience Thanks

Caveat Emptor
I have written positive reviews for over a dozen TripAdvisor tours. This is the first review that I would classify as a disaster. The day prior to the tour, I wrote to the operator about the “heavy rain forecast”. He assured me that the weather would be clear where we were going? On the day of the tour, the guide informed me that the $385 I had paid Trip Advisor was going to be refunded and I would have to pay him directly. In hindsight we should have gotten out of the car immediately. If you’re taking this tour, it consists of being in a small car for over (6) hours. The description of the tour tells you that the tour lasts 10 hours? If we had known that the drive to see a small village was (3) hrs each way we would never had chosen the tour? To be honest, the village was cute and the gondola was interesting - but not in the heavy rain we faced. Upon returning to São Paulo, it took over 90 minutes for the tour guide to make the electronic transfer. I had to pay him $200 in cash and the bank transfer of $188. It was ridiculous how long this took. At this stage, my message is Caveat Emptor!

Almost silent Tour of a beautiful place.
Beautiful City. Lovely drive. HOWEVER, the driver Mohammad could not speak English. Though he might be knowing English but it was not coming out from his mouth. He was nice to us. Helped us to buy things. He is of Syria origine and in Sao Paulo from 11 years. I happened to work in Gulf for many years, 24 years back. With little bit Arabic that I could remember, I saved our day. He will be good for tour in English and Portuguese. Please don't assign him for tour in English.

The guide was very kind and compliant and punctual with the times. He accommodated the client's needs, was very respectful, warm, and took me to the best places.

An Adventure for ALL ages! Amazing!!!
This was an an unexpected trip of a lifetime. First of all I could not say enough about our tour guide Roberto. Roberto catered the trip to our needs and made it so much fun. If he suggests the Pedra de Bau… gain your courage and DO IT! It was a long day but the memories that were created were forever…

The Brazilian Switzerland - Full 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 - Full Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo cost?
+
Prices start at $600 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 - Full 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 - Full Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 10 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 - Full 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 - Full 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 - Full Day Trip on Campos do Jordão from São Paulo?
+
Around 4 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 - Full 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, São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group), 5-hour Private Tour Of São Paulo With Its Main Sights – 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.
